In this command:

choose from list a OK button name "Choose" with prompt string pstring

There's an improper coersion:

string pstring

The "string" is not needed, pString is already a string.

I don't believe this was intended as a coercion. My guess is that the word string was simply copied inadvertently from the entry in Standard Additions' AS dictionary, which reads (in part):

choose from list v : Choose one or more items from a list

choose from list list of number or string : a list of numbers and/or strings to display

[with title string] : the dialog window title

[with prompt string] : the prompt to be displayed in the dialog box

etc...

The required syntax (with prompt) is shown in bold. The plain text after that (in this case, string) merely denotes the value class expected or required, and should be replaced by an actual value of the class indicated.
