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?
Yep.
Is paramtext actually used any more?
Well, it's still supported, and I'm sure some people are using it.
It's not really advised, though, since it can't handle Unicode.
