[TxMt] Running an AppleScript

So, my copy of JEG2's TextMate book has arrived down under, and I'm
really enjoying getting a better understanding of TextMate.
Being an avid AppleScripter, this was my first attempt at a bundle
command--to look up a selection in a FileMaker database:
osascript <<-ENDSCRIPT
set title to "${TM_SELECTED_TEXT}"
if title "" then
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
if not (exists window "HachetteTitles") then open alias
"Path:To:My:Database.fp7"
set cell "_Search" of layout "Titles" to title
do script "Search For Title"
set href to cell "_Search" of layout "Titles"
set img to cell "_thumb" of layout "Titles"
end tell
if href "" then set title to img & href
end if
return title
ENDSCRIPT
I know this script method works fine outside of TextMate, but no
matter what I do I get errors running it inside TextMate:
31:32: syntax error: Expected ÒthenÓ, etc. but found unknown token.
(-2741)
I'd certainly appreciate any help diagnosing this one.
