What's causing that «event ascrgdut»? I don't get it myself when I run
the script and it doesn't compile to a keyword on either of my machines.
But it does cause error number -1708 when run.
error "TextWrangler got an error: Can’t continue «event ascrgdut»."
number -1708
I've Googled the term since posting this and found that «event ascrgdut»
is used to make AppleScript update its knowledge of the installed
scripting additions. It usually generates an error, so in a script, one
would normally put it in a 'try' statement. Presumably, on Yvan's
system, 'display dialog' is not being understood (error number -1708)
and «event ascrgdut» is then being generated to update the scripting
addition inventory (same error). But that only explains the event log.
It doesn't help with the origin of the problem. :\

Hi
Nigel,
from what I understand you did not get the error -1708.
I looked it up and got:
"the AppleEvent was not handled by any handler”'
Which I believe happens when you send an standard addition command to an application.
I tried a Portuguese system language and did not
So why is the mysterious -1708 creeping in certain systems?

More and more puzzling.
I booted in English and the error -1708 is striking as it does in French.

I added instructions to show that the system is really running in English. This text brought to the surface an other difference. When I paste a piece of code or an events log in Mail running French, I get spurious, annoying tabs pushing the area in which I may type to the right. When the system is used in English as it is for this message, the extraneous tabs aren't here. One more report to file.
