You'll find things much easier if you upgrade your OS (or AppleScript
extension). Since, I think, OS 9.1 (or someone correct me please), 'as
Unicode text' uses regular characters for standard ASCII (and seems to use
odd 'high ASCII' characters, i.e. odd-looking diacritics and stuff, for
non-ASCII characters). No more raw data. It all works infinitely better now.
