every time, this creates a resource with the contents
of temp (correct), an index of solCount (correct) and a name of "flat"
(Huh?).
Unfortunately, the Name part is important. If someone could tell me how
I should be passing the name (obviously not as text) I'd be most
grateful.
As you could observe, Philippe Gruchet could name his "TEXT" resource
and you could not. Here is why.
If the quantity that you attempt to write as a resource is a list or
a record, the Satimage osax forces the name of the resource to "flat"
for its internal use. (This is because the internal AppleScript
format for records has changed, and "load resource" will try to guess
whether it's reading an old or a new one).
(More generally, you may want to know that "load resource" uses the
name of the resource - if that name has four characters - as the
four-character code of the type wanted for the result.)
What happens to you probably, Steve, is that your "temp as text" does
not really produce raw text - you're probably facing a Unicode issue.
For testing purposes, you may want to replace "temp as text" with an
explicit string, and check that the "put resource" then names the
resource correctly.
