The script above compiles for me in the Script Editor, but it doesn't work. I have to use the form:

set Disk Volume alias to alias "Mac HD:"


Neither worked for me!
I do not have any osax (other than the 2 used by smile).
What works for me is the following:

tell application "Startup Disk"
activate
set +class disk; alias to alias "MacOS 9:" ---<------
quit
end tell
--------> chevrons (alt-\) class disk chevrons (alt-shift-\) (at least in Monaco)
and if the first alias is omitted then it does not work either.
i did not try it yet, but for the first time the script compiles.

About the CarbonLib, thanks Paul and Ed, that was the problem. Script Editor is working full fledge again!
