The error is something like "error: undefined; offendingcommand: get",
right?  This means not that the get operator is not known to the
interpreter, but that the index into the given composite object is invalid,
i.e. unknown key for dictonary types, or element integer out of range for
strings, etc.

be able to modify the PS text to work, or contact the software publisher and
inform them of the bug.
