The second finder script in this clicked handler won't work, I have
tested for the results of the variables "thePath" and "destinationPath"
they produce the desired colon delimited paths.

the kind of error I get look like this:
Finder got an error: Can't get file
"OSX:Users:p:Desktop:Cocoa_OpenGL.sit". (-1728)

probably really simple but............

on clicked theObject
if the name of theObject is "move" then

tell application "Finder"
set prefsFolder to (home as text) & "Desktop:"
end tell
set theRow to selected data row of table view "names" of scroll view
"names" of window "main"
set theFileName to contents of data cell of theRow as string
set thePath to (prefsFolder & theFileName)

set theDestination to title of current menu item of popup button
"folders" of box "box2" of window "main"
set destinationPath to (prefsFolder & theDestination & ":")


tell application "Finder"

move file thePath to folder destinationPath
end tell

end if

end clicked
