Thank you Andy and Paul. This does the trick:
set infoRec to extended info for newFile
set invisible status of infoRec to true
apply catalog info infoRec to newFile
Speaking of which, I having not listened to the AS users channel in a long
time, what's the status of third party OSAX migration to X?
