Of course. That's how I nailed this down.

Only "British English" as his first language in System
prefs/International/Languages. I've tried that too.

True. It doesn't use that funny old 'version' type from OS 7. I'll change
this bit of the script to just use Unicode text, but I'm concerned if the
user has similar problems with text item delimiters elsewhere in the script
- I probably use them 1000 times and I'm not going to change all of them if
he's just a freak occurrence.
So the problem - just for this user - is that text item delimiters of {"."}
don't "catch" a "." created by conversion of Unicode text to string. It
makes me wonder if somehow there's a rogue ASCII 0 in there somehow from the
Unicode-to-string conversion (no, it doesn't pass through a text file). I'll
send him a version that gets every character and its ASCII number, to check.
