Hmmm, I was able to successfully run the script on stackexchange and it dumped the notes onto the clipboard. I just copied it into ScriptEditor and hit the "run" triangle button. But the script here gives errors when I try to run it the same way, ScriptEditor result is:

error "Keynote got an error: sh: line 4: Advisory: command not found
sh: line 6: Always: command not found
sh: line 8: Explain: command not found
sh: line 9: Current: command not found
sh: line 11: Apology: command not found
sh: line 12: The: command not found
sh: line 13: We: command not found
sh: line 14: This: command not found
sh: -c: line 15: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: -c: line 16: syntax error: unexpected end of file" number 2

Maybe the tbrk comment is the solution - but I don't know how to make the change? Thanks!
