Frame 7.0 breaks applescripts...

I'm coming to the conclusion that my cherished and vital Applescripts no longer work in Frame 7.

I'm trying to run some scripts that start as follows:
--
set fileToOpen to (choose file with prompt �
	"Select a book to open: ") as string

tell application "FrameMaker 7.0"
	open file fileToOpen
...
end tell
--

but Frame isn't replying. It just ignores the commands. (This by the way is from the Adobe-supplied script in the FM7 directory.)

Before I go mad, can anyone else running FM7 on MacOS X get this type of script to run? At least if they can, then I can try and look for some possible causes.

I'm running 10.2.2 here, and FM 7.0p577.

cheers

Pete
