Hello Peter,

Give this a try; it's a bit more efficient than the original. You can do significantly more sophisticated error checking if desired. If you really want to copy one file at a time let me know and I'll come up with something.

A **** in the script indicates a wrapped line.

tell application "Finder"
set srcF to alias "Minerva:Source Folder:"
set desF to alias "Minerva:Destination Folder:"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
set nameList1 to name of files of srcF as string
set fList to items of srcF
move fList to desF
set nameList2 to name of files of desF as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
if nameList1  nameList2 then
beep 2
display dialog "Move has failed in some way."
end if
set screenBounds to bounds of content space of desktop
end tell

tell application "Tex-Edit"
set winBounds to {5, 41, (item 3 of screenBounds) div 2, ****
(item 4 of screenBounds) - 5}
make new document with properties ****
{name:"File List", bounds:winBounds, contents:nameList1}
activate
end tell



Best Regards,

Christopher Stone
