set compname to (text returned of result)

the compname variable is {\"dnsname\"} and the script then fails

So how do I make the {\"dnsname\"} turn out as "dnsname" in compname?

Hi Operatic German Bat,

Try this:

set compname to choose from list theListofcomps with title ¬

"Computers" with prompt "Pick the computer you want to send a message to and control"

--lets tech pick from full list of machines.

set compname to item 1 of result

Second issue is I am trying to control the compname machine via ARD and I notice there is a control command in the dictionary. I have tried several ways to make that command work, but so far the script says it did everything correctly. I never get a window to be created so I can control the machine in question. I have tried the control command against a single machine and against a list with out any results.
