It's not a bug, precisely -- it's a very old Dialog Manager feature to do text substitution.  If it sees "^0" (or 1, 2, or 3) in a piece of dialog text, it will substitute the string set by another Dialog Manager call.  (ParamText, if you care.  No, it's not accessible from AppleScript.)  The only suggestion I can give you at the moment is "don't do that."


That's what I thought it was; that goes all the way back to the first release of the Mac OS, with the 128K Mac, right?

Is paramtext actually used any more?
