| Shane, Kai,
Thanks... I'll do the count check
Michelle,
Others have addressed your problem, but I'm curious as to why you didn't do it like this:
set the list to files of folder hold_folder as alias list
Are there any other kinds of items in a folder other than files and folders?
Not that I can think of. Isn't everything either a file or a folder? The reason I did it the way I did is that was how it was done when I wrote the basics of this script under OS 7, OS 8 and OS 9, and I haven't changed it much.
99% of the time, there are at least two files in the folder when I run the script, so on those few occasions when there is only one file, I usually handled it manually. I finally decided I wanted to know how to fix it.
I don't script very often, so a lot of what I do is from examples I've pulled from others and from poking around in archives of questions answered here.
Thanks all for the help.
