It works, and the <<property sysf>> changes to the term in the dictionary:
"startup system folder alias", when compiling.

Thanks, all I have to do is remember to change it back to <<property sysf>>
before a recompile. It is awkward, but I should be able to write my script
now.

The AS in a Nutshell book mentions the scriptable Startup Disk control panel
and its terms, but not this glitch...

Thanks to everyone who responded,
