No, like this ...
property strA : "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
set strB to (rest of characters of strA) as text
set strC to (rest of characters of strB) as text
log strC
Setting TIDs to null is NOT optional!
If you're addressing characters, text item delimiters doesn't come
into play. The only time you would have to set text item
delimiters is if you're addressing text items, which you're not in
this situation. It is not only not optional; it is not needed.
No.
'characters of strA' is a list, the list of characters or single
character text items in strA.
(rest of characters of strA) is also a list.
'(rest of characters of strA) as text' is text where each text item,
in this case a character, is separated by the TID.
Run the script above with this small change and you will see what
happens:
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"#"}
