Many of my scripts that refer to "constant" folders (i.e. System,
Extensions, etc) no longer work. I get this error "Finder got an error: File
extensions folder wasn't found."
From this code:
tell application "Finder"
set infodate3 to get (info for extensions folder) as record
end tell
Maybe I was never doing it correctly, but it worked. Any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

I'm relatively new to scripting and have only developed on my
>
PowerBook G3 with OS 9.1 and AppleScript 1.6. Now that I've got the
>
scripts, I need to do lots of processing of images and such and
>
needed a faster computer with a bigger hard drive. I just got the
>
PowerMac G4 867 which came with OS 9.2.1 (updated to 9.2.2 today) and
>
AppleScript 1.6.

The problem is my scripts don't seem to be working at all anymore.

I've had some major issues so far (including one where the Apple Tech

Support told me to do a reformat with zeroing all data). So today

I've got everything brand new and clean. Only installed Smile 1.8.4,

and really can't get things to work right. Scripts are a bit more

picky now (apparently I forgot a couple "as alias" references that

ran on my G3), and are crashing for no reason that I can figure.

Is there anything that is known about this? Shouldn't a script that

works in OS 9.1 work the same in OS 9.2.2 since I'm still using

AppleScript 1.6? Smile seems to be giving me serious issues (program

crashes, defaults to the intro worksheet even though I've deleted it,

doesn't recognize the desktop).

Could I maybe have a lemon computer? What am I doing wrong? Dang

computer is the coolest I've ever had, but seems to be giving me

problems all over... (Don't even get me started on my OS X experience

- see numerous posts to that discussion list)

As usual thanks for any and all help anyone might have. This is by

far the most helpful list I've ever been on.
