Oh I see now. Well I will bet it is the file system that is doing it.
I wonder if you create the file using Text Edit what would happen to
the name? What key sequences do you use to produce those characters? I
will try here.

I created an empty Revolution stack called รครด.rev. I created another

following script:
ON bobtest
answer file "Please select a file..."
put it into theFile
IF theFile is empty THEN
answer "The user cancelled." WITH "Darnitall!"
END IF
open stack theFile
END bobtest
This worked for me. The filename remains intact. The stack opens as
it should.
I noticed you are using open file it. I am not sure what kind of
file you are trying to open. If it is a stack, that won't work. You
have to use Open Stack. If it is a file, you have to tell the Finder
to open the file. If you are trying to do low level file functions,
then let's explore that.
To write to a low level file you need to use the form "open file
theFile for write". Like so:
ON bobtest
answer file "Please select a file..."
put it into theFile
IF theFile is empty THEN
answer "The user cancelled." WITH "Darnitall!"
END IF
open file theFile FOR write
write "This is a test." to file theFile
close file theFile
END bobtest
Upon opening the file, I find the text, "This is a test." plain as
day. So I am still unsure what you are having a problem with.

Yes, you missed the part where you test your theory! I tried for a
while to find a solution, and couldn't find one. The issue is that
when you get the file that contains those odd characters, the
string is already wrecked. You can see the effect by doing this
(and pointing to a file with those odd characters in its name):
answer file ""
open file it
close file it
You'll now have a new file, that is the distorted variation of the
original filename. So for any case where you are asking the user to
pick a file, you're not going to have the path to that file, you'll
get a modified version of it.
