>Try using "text item" instead of "word"
tried that - it works in 10.2.8 not in 10.4.4 - I need
it to work in 10.4.4

result = error
"Can't get text item 2 of "OCT 05   @St. Louis".

Furthermore, if you try to set as text item 1 you get
"OCT 05   @St. Louis"
Then if you try all the delimiting with spaces and
tabs you never end up "@St." you get "St".

So, I'm back to why can't I just get "@St."

I realize Applescript is seeing it differently. I just
don't know how or why and how to override it without
doing some "hardwiring" of the variables (ie if x =
"St" set x to "@St.") which I don't want to do. I'm
trying to keep this script as generic as possible for
future use.
