Except my first sentence was incorrect! I shouldn't have said:

What I meant to say was:
'path to me' IS a file (not 'name of a file').
Otherwise , I don't think I misled you anywhere. Being an AppleScript alias
and a file in the Finder, its name, and other properties, can be changed.
That's what I was trying to get across. I need to proofread my messages more
stringently. Somehow, I only seem to notice my own errors after they appear
in public on the list. (Now watch everyone else spot the error before
reading this correction.)
