Here ya go.
on open {ThisFolder}
display dialog "Please enter a new name for your page" default
answer ""
set NewName to text returned of the result
try
tell application "Finder"
set OldFilename to name of ThisFolder
set the name of ThisFolder to NewName
end tell
on error ConvertERR
display dialog ConvertERR
end try
end open
Note that I used braces instead of parens in the "on open" line. On
open returns a list; by using braces, the script automatically extracts
the first item from the list. If you are going to drop more than one
folder at a time, then use parens and a loop.
I removed "set ThisFolder to ThisFolder as alias" because it was not
needed.
I moved "set OldFilename to name of ThisFolder" to inside the tell
wrapper
I changed "RampageFolder" to "ThisFolder" because there was no
RampageFolder defined in the script.

Below is the script that I have written
so far but the set OldFilename line doesn't work.
