"set the end of <a list> to <whatever>" appends the item to the end of

set a to {1, 2, 3}
set the end of a to "this"
a

"this_item as alias" converts the item (which is a file or folder
reference) to an alias.
So, the end result is taking a list of file and folder references and
converting them to a list of aliases.

it tells the script not to pay any attention to error responses, etc.,
from the application.
