“get text for" is no longer supported. It should not really have been used in this way anyway, it was more a side effect of the fact that the “document" can be interpreted as a selection. You should use the 'text’ property (’text of document 1’), not the ‘get text for’ command, to get the text of a document (or a page, for that matter). Christiaan
