9.2.2 choose new file bug?

Subject: 9.2.2 choose new file bug?

set newName to choose file name
return newName
--> file "Cortex:Prelude:Desktop Folder:myExperiment35"

This is wrong. Cortex and prelude are the names of two hard drives. Cortex
is the startup disk and prelude is the disk where the file is being created.
So this path should actually say
"Prelude:Desktop Folder:myExperiment35"

If I execute

set f to open for access newName
close access f

Then the file is correctly created at Prelude:Desktop Folder:myExperiment35

But if I then say

store script proteus in newName replacing yes

I get the error
"Cortex:Prelude:Desktop Folder:myExperiment35" not found
