I am not sure why you are seeing this. I exported a pages newsletter file as
text, then ran this command on it:
on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
answer file "Pick a text file" with
"/Users/bobsneidar/Desktop/SneidarNewsletter.txt"
put it into theFile
open file theFile for read
read from file theFile until cr
put it
close file theFile
end mouseUp
I got this in the message box:
2005 Summer Edition
Seems to work.
