Sounds like you're on 10.4 or earlier.
Correct. I should have stated this in my posting.
AppleScript only supports Unicode source code in 10.5+; previously
it used the host system's primary encoding, which is why your non-
MacRoman(?) characters are getting mangled. If you must use
AppleScript for some reason, either write your unicode string
literals using raw «data utxt...» format, or pass in unicode
strings as parameters to an Apple event constructed via
NSAppleEventDescriptor.
I might try this.
But it is good to know that AppleScript cannot be used on 10.4.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
