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
I can confirm this error on 10.5.6. Sounds like a parsing bug to me. You can reduce the problem to:
set myList to {"a", "b", "c", pi as text, "finished"} items 2 thru the end of myList
