adding new groups in address book for blind users

Hi,

While on the plane, i was fighting with this little script i'd like to get working as being a blind user, i can't rename groups i create, and therefore felt i had to resort to as until someone does something about the bug.

But i have a problem with a text being converted to an integer although what i record is a string???

Here goes:

tell application "Address Book"
activate
set newGroup to the text returned of (display dialog "New group's name" default answer "group name")
add group {name, newGroup}
end tell

But i get an error with this.

I'm still amateur about this, but fevereshly digesting all the documentation i can to figure it out, and i do have one hurdle which is the syntaxing and colors in the dictionaries, so sometimes something obvious to a sighted person might be baffling me in the eye, so to speak.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, and best

Yuma
