set the outputFile to (choose file name with prompt "Choose where to save the file" default name "test.txt" default location (path to desktop))

This doesn't:
set the outputFile to (choose file name with prompt "Choose where to save the file" default name "test.txt" default location (path to desktop))
set myList to {"a", "b", "c", pi as text, "finished"}
set fref to open for access outputFile with write permission
write ((items 2 through the end of myList) as text) to fref
close access fref
--> "Can’t make items 2 thru end of {\"a\", \"b\", \"c\", \"3.14159265359\", \"finished\"} of «script» into type Unicode text."
But this does:
set the outputFile to (choose file name with prompt "Choose where to save the file" default name "test.txt" default location (path to desktop))
set myList to {"a", "b", "c", pi as text, "finished"}
set fref to open for access outputFile with write permission
write ((items 2 through (the end) of myList) as text) to fref
close access fref
I thought that "the" was always optional (except for "the clipboard", but that doesn't apply here).
