Good catch :)
Btw, no need to open for access if you only need to read the file. Added
bonus is that you won't need the usual error handling stuff for when
something fails and your script doesn't close access (thus keeping the
file inaccessible to any process).
set nameList to every paragraph of (read listFile as «class utf8»)
