I _think_ the problem is that you're running it Tiger, where 'text' is
synonymous with 'string' rather than with 'Unicode text', which is
presumably what's returned by TextCommands. The line …
set RowText to it's text
… returns a list containing every value of class 'text' in the record —
that is, the _property_ 'text' is ignored. In Tiger's version of
AppleScript, 'Unicode text' is not 'text', so the list returned is
empty. These work on my Tiger machine:
set {text:RowText} to it
set RowText to item 1 of (its every Unicode Text)
set RowText to first Unicode text of (it as list)
