This script performs as expected on my system (OS 9.1/AppleScript
1.6/No Language kits installed/No OS X). I tried it in Script Editor,
Script Debugger and as an application.
When you enter something with a wrong format, then enter again with a
correct format, it returns the second entry?
No it doesn't, it returns the first entry. I apologize for not
testing thoroughly.
