 the Author's code was as follows . . .
set MyFile to "Macintosh HD:Users:Jerry:Documents:GroceryList.txt"
 I made the same setting but replaced 'Jerry' with my home folder and
used a differently named text file.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I get confused with those kinds of file locations "Macintosh
HD:Users:Jerry:Documents:GroceryList.txt", try this example:

set filePath to (POSIX file ("/Users/Mike/Documents/MyTextFile.txt")
set fileLines to paragraphs of (read filePath before return)
repeat with nextLine in fileLines
display dialog nextLine
end repeat

That will loop though a text file displaying a dialog with one line of
text in each dialog box.
See http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/smile/external_codes/file_paths.html
for info on converting the different types of file paths
See http://docs.info.apple.com/jarticle.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as201.html
for info on the read command
See http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-124419.html for
some info about the loop I used

I hope I haven't confused you more or made it worse ;)

James ;)
