I'm trying to extract finder information for files on disk using info for

    set fileInfo to info for (theFolder & theFile) as alias

I can use all the items in the returned record, EXCEPT kind

I get an error when referring to kind like this:

    set myvar to kind of fileInfo

"Can't get kind of ...."

I'm presuming AS is getting confused, seeing it as an internal property rather than letting me refer to the record item. Can I express it differently to extract this nugget?

And it worked fine here.
