ok, i was not using any particular "test data" to test my script.
(I will do that next time)
The problem was that what i thought was plain text actually was not  
plain text. The ampersand (&)  character caused the problem.
Secondly, there are quite a few characters (and things like spaces,  
empty lines) which don't go well with shell. I can probably work my  
way around with applescript to make sure that shell gets the proper  
text. But i would like to know if shell can do something about such  
characters.
