If in my set-up I use a Finder tell block (why!),
then the Finder crashes, but I get the right
answer with no crash of Script Editor; however if
I use SE 2.0 beta or Smile I do get a crash in
Jaguar, so there is nothing wrong with your code
so far as I can see.
However it depends very much on what combination
of OS and Script Editor you are using. As I
write, I'm running Jaguar original on a new
partition and am in them middle of downloading
all the updates, and this does not work at all in
either SE 2 or SE 1.9. I'll try it again after
the updates have cut in.
set a to "hello" as Unicode text
set b to +AKs-data utxt30A4+ALs as Unicode text
set c to a & b
There are a number of other ways to do it, which
I have previously posted to the list.
