Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.

Here are some things that don't work:

set foo to choose file

tell application "System Events"

set bar to XML data of foo
set Fred to XML elements of bar

set bar to XML data of XML file foo
set Fred to XML elements of bar

set theEntries to XML elements of XML data of XML file foo

set George to value of XML element "title" of XML data of XML file foo

end tell

(I find it curious that the dictionary says XML data is contained by 
*application," not file. )

All this is in Tiger 10.4.9

a short piece of a very long file.
