Title: Re: reading a file in an applescript.
Doh!
Scope issue.
Of course.
I’ll get it swapped out and report back if it fails... But this makes way too much sense to not be the problem.
Thanks Ed!

I see the problem now:
Microsoft Entourage got an error: Can't continue readHandle.
This is a terminology conflict.
Microsoft is using work "read" in the Entourage dictionary, which causes the compile error.
One solution is to create a handler:
on ReadMyFile (targetFile)
return read targetFile
end ReadMyFile
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
my ReadMyFile (targetFile)
set fileText to the result
display dialog fileText
end tell

Thanks Ed,
I tried:
set fileText to read theTextFile
As you suggested.
I still get the following compile error:
Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier.
I get it in the word after “read” every time.
I should also mention that when I try the following syntax:
set fileText to {read, readHandle for (get eof readHandle)}
I get the following error:
Microsoft Entourage got an error: Can't continue readHandle.
