"characters 1 thru x" returns the individual characters as a list,
while "text 1 thru x" returns a text string of those characters. I'm
willing to bet that somewhere else in the script you changed the
AppleScript text-item delimiters to ":" so when you coerced the list of
characters into a text string it placed the ":" between each letter.
This is why you should always grab the text-item delimiters before you
use them, save them into a variable, and then reset them when you are
done using them. You avoid these kind of troubles down the line.

In the transition to 10.3 this stopped working.
Where in 10.2 line:
set thePassword to (characters 1 thru ((offset of (ASCII character 0)
in
thePassword) - 1) of thePassword) as text
returned "password"
the same line now returns "p:a:s:s:w:o:r:d"
To bring the password up to 10.3 standards I need to say:
set thePassword to (text 1 thru ((offset of (ASCII character 0) in
thePassword) - 1) of thePassword)
which returns "password"
Any insight into this change?
