I'm still not sure why you need to translate the file paths. I've never 
needed to do that. This always works:

answer file "Choose a file:"
if it = "" then exit to top
put url ("file:" & it) into tVar

The special characters used by both MacOS and Windows are translated by 
the OS itself, so I never need to worry about what comes back from the 
"answer file" command. I just use whatever it gives me and the OS 
manages it.

Can't you just get "the files" and use whatever it sends back to the script?
