First case: You cannot specify a list of items in a folder like that...

Second case: The alias form requires a full path for each item, as in
Michelle's example. If "theFolder" is "HardDisk:System:" then you would need
to say:

Select {alias "HardDisk:System:Note Pad File", alias
"HardDisk:System:Scrapbook File"}
