Re: title of window 1 as text

I don't see the relevance of what's in the Finder's dictionary - the application we're looking at is Tex-Edit Plus. In TE+, windows have a "name" property (class:international text) and no title property.

This works just fine:

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
	set wName to (name of window 1)
end tell
display dialog wName

Since "display dialog" takes a text variable as its object, international text must be acceptable as text. It works with accented characters in the title, too.

The name property is already text, so you don't need "as text" in the
evaluation.

Are you sure ?

In the Finder's dictionary, one may read:

id  unsigned integer  [r/o]  -- the unique id for this window
	position  point  -- the upper left position of the window
	bounds  bounding rectangle  -- the boundary rectangle for the window
	titled  boolean  [r/o]  -- Does the window have a title bar?
	name  Unicode text  [r/o]  -- the name of the window


An Unicode text is definitely NOT a text one.

No problem as far as you use standard ASCII characters.
Problem arise when one uses accented chars.
One problem of this kind surfaced here some days ago.
