Is the text in a text field, or text view (which has scroll bars)? For both cases, have you given the text field/view a name in the AppleScript pane of the Info Palette?

If it is a text view, it will be attached to a scroll view, which also needs a name, and the call will be something like:

set theText to contents of text view "textViewName" of scroll view "scrollViewName" of front window

There is a separate list for AppleScript Studio, which would be a better place to ask. The Developer installation also gives you a large number of examples, and a couple of pdf's on using Studio that are very helpful.
