Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I don't think it is the 
complete answer since the original scriptlet was:

	put the selectedtext into tAppName 
	Answer file "Select Text file to open " 
	If tAppName is not empty then 
		put"file:" & it into tFileName 
		Get shell (tAppName && tFileName) 
	End if

The problem was that the conditional clause never ran because 
tAppName was always empty. The answer dialog lines were inserted one 
at a time to discover if RR had picked up the selectedText, which it 
had but for some reason it would not *put* it into the variable.

However, today it is working as expected - as I said, there are some 
gremlins at work somewhere - ?with running stacks within the dev UI?
There are other issues under Linux  - cutting from the documentation 
works sporadically( though c&p is a bit of a nightmare under X 
anyway), likewise code completion in the script editor and mouse 
wheel scrolling direction is reversed to mention just three off the 
top of my head.  By the way. does RR install by default with root 
privileges - if so that might need to be addressed in due course? - 
though that will not be easy.
