Thanks again Geoff.
Same problem, but your script is much more elegant than mine.
I think the literal works (example: "rabbit") because it bypasses the OK prompt.
Could the OK button add an additional property to the text?
{text returned:"rabbit", button returned: "OK"}
"text returned of" would seem to catch the literal string we want from the "x" variable, but I'm not so sure. It think the set is adding more with respect to the button returned: "OK". It may not be able to be a string if it did, but there's a reason why the webster's application is rejecting the input.)
Is there a way to see with certainty what exactly the variable "x" contains besides a display dialogue?
The MWClearPaste is the only command in the entire Webster's applescript dictionary.
