Looks like AppleScript did not understand the "text item" term.

More than likely, you have text item delimiters set either to something that other than "o" or "", because then there will fewer than three text items. You can't get item 3 of a list consisting of only one or two items.

On the other hand, if I run:

------------------------
string items 1 thru -2 of "foo:bar"
------------------------

I get a different error message:

------------------------
Can't get items 1 thru -2.
------------------------

"string items" does not make sense, so the code chokes on it.
