I'm having the same problem, with the same error message. I am a new
applescript user, too. I started using Bill Brigg's AppleScript Primer, but
I can't get the "Broom" to work. It won't let me move files, disks, etc.
around the desktop. I wonder if it has something to do with Multiple Users
(which I am running). Or is it something else?
Please Help!!!
