Thanks,
As a script newbie I love the potential but "whewww" what a learning
curve... I parsed it down to this, But... it tells me I can not get "entire
contents" of "Alpha:downloads:" is there an OSAX i need to have installed

property mainContainer : "Alpha:downloads_archive:"

tell application "Finder"
set theDate to date string of (current date)
set mostRecentFolder to (make new folder at folder mainContainer with
properties {name:theDate})
move the entire contents of "Alpha:downloads:" to folder
mostRecentFolder
end tell

Thanks

Jeff
