In what editor?

Um, that's not how script editor behaves for me, but you didn't say what
you were using.

osacompile? Are you writing in Xcode? Don't do that. Script Editor works
very well for almost all AppleScript work. You only want to resort to
XCode if you are building something complicated with lots of files. A
UI. Stuff like that.

You are using XCODE 3?!? The current version is 5.1.1

And yes, I'm sure Apple is very interested in the income derived from
forcing people to buy $0 upgrades to XCode.

To the best of my recollection:

display dialog (x as text) giving up after 5 seconds
