Sorry, small typo:


tell document 1 of application "Bibdesk"
	set thePubs to selection
	display dialog "Enter a keyword to set for the selection:" default 
answer "" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
	copy the result as list to {theKeyword, buttonPressed}
	repeat with thePub in thePubs
		tell thePub
			set oldKeywords to keywords
			if oldKeywords = "" then
				newKeywords = theKeyword
			else
				newKeywords = oldKeywords & "," & theKeyword
			end if
			set keywords to newKeywords
		end tell
	end repeat
end tell
