Hi and thanks to Roy pardi for this on converting lists to strings and back
again:

Getting the List to string to file works a treat, but getting it back from
the file and into a list is not so easy.
Here's my code:
scribe = new(xtra "FileIO")
scribe.openFile(the moviePath & "dictionary.txt", 0)
rawString = scribe.readFile()
myList = value(string(rawString))
put myList
...at the moment this returns "["
meanwhile scribe.readFile() returns ""["string"]"" with double quotation
marks.
Can anybody help?
Cheers,
Steve Bolton
