I can't move Bob


  • Subject: I can't move Bob

I am trying to learn applescript from scratch, with the help of "AppleScript
Beginner's Tutorial".

I was doing fine and all was working perfectly until I got to the chapter
"More Fun With Bob".

I entered the script as shown below:-

tell application "Finder" to set the position of the item named "Bob" to
(72, 47)

I checked the Syntax - which showed no errors

but every time I ran the program, I got the error shown below:-

EXECUTION ERROR - Finder got an error: This window is the wrong kind (e.g.
pop-up vs. normal) to use this command.

I have checked and double checked --- but Bob is not a pop-up window....

I'm Stumped, And I've only just begun!!!!!

Please Help
