Under OS 8.1 (AS1.1.2), if I ask the Finder for "creator type of
application file of every application process" I get a list of creator types:
--> {"QkBg", "ttxt", "rasm", "Dock", "npdt", "MOSS", "ToyS", "FTCh"}
That's what I would expect. I just tried to run a script using that
under OS 9.1 (AS1.6) and got an error. When I tested it I found that
what was being returned was:
--> {<<class QkBg>>, text returned, <<class rasm>>, <<class Dock>>,
<<class npdt>>, <<class MOSS>>, <<class ToyS>>, <<class FTCh>>}
I found that I could coerce it back to what I expected by using "as
text", but I'm curious about what I got without it. What do all those
classes mean and why does SimpleText return "text returned" instead of
it's creator type as a class?
