Basically what I want ot do is this:

set Dialog_1 to display dialog "The application requires your administrative password to run: " default answer ""
set admin_user to the text returned of the result


Now what I would like to do is to have admin_user become a 32 bit unsigned integer that then gets writen properly to a basic text file.

write (length of admin_user) to the_file ???

I don't think that you describe completely what you want.

I think that, in addition to what you say, you would like to retrieve admin_user from reading the integer. Wouldn't you?

If I'm right, then it looks like Mission impossible, you only have 2^32 integers, and you have much more possibilities for admin_user, so one integer *has* to code for *several* admin_user values.

That's probably why you didn't get as many replies as you could expect.
