And, at least as importantly, why can't I copy the result out of Script Editor (it copies a few letters at a time)?

You can encounter problems copying text out of Script Editor. If you try the following on certain files (such as the smart mailboxes.plist file in Library/Mail):


info for (choose file)

and paste the results from script editor into Mail, you get this:

{name:"SmartMailboxes.plist", creation date:date "Friday, 24 June 2005 08:45:10", modification date:date "Friday, 24 June 2005 08:45:10", icon position:{0, 0}, size:1.0323E+4, folder:false, alias:false, package folder:false, visible:true, extension hidden:false, name extension:"plist", displayed name:"SmartMailboxes.plist", default application:alias "Macintosh HD:Developer:Applications:Utilities:Property List Editor.app:", kind:"XML Property List File", file type:"file creator:"type identifier:"dyn.age81a5dmsr4a", locked:false, busy status:false, short version:"", long version:""}

Notice how it goes wrong after file type. I think Jean-Baptiste is right about the ASCII 0 characters. The file type and file creator strings consist of 4 strange characters.
