Probably not much help, but it's a unicode problem. The following works fine here on linux mint with LC 6.6.2 and 6.7-dp8 7.0-dp8 as well. In a button script: on mouseUp local tFolder answer folder "Find the folder" put it into tFolder answer there is a folder tFolder set the defaultfolder to tFolder get url ("file:" & tFolder & "/Acericulture") put tFolder & cr & it into field 1 end mouseUp with a target folder named "Acériculture" the answer statement shows true the field gets the contents of the enclosed text file (using diacriticals in file names is also successful) and aside from the fact that tFolder shows a bad transliteration of the unicode, this works as expected. However, while answer there is a folder tFolder works fine, answer there is a folder "/home/mwieder/Copy/Acériculture" returns false. This no doubt is due to the fact that the LC reports the folder path as "/home/mwieder/Copy/Acériculture" -- -Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com This communication may be unlawfully collected and stored by the National Security Agency (NSA) in secret.
