The easiest way to input large amounts of text is to put it in a text
file and have your script suck it into a variable using the "read"
scripting addition command:
set x to (read file "some:file:path")
This opens the file, reads the data into the variable, and closes the
file.

Thanks all for your help.
Currently I am using Jaguar 10.2.8. The script editor says is version
1.9
however I don9t know where to look to see what version of OSX
AppleScript
I9m using. Where would I look?
So in prior versions than 1.9.2, aside from reading directly from the
clipboard, is there any other way to input large amounts of text
(pages)
into an AppleScript variable?
