Thanks to Greg Robb, who answered me privately and suggested the Stuffit Commands osax,
Jeff Baumann, who presented a solution without using osax and Paul Berkowitz, who suggested
osax.
I used the Stuffit Commands osax and it worked just fine. I was also interested in Jeff
Baumann's solution, just to know how to do it.
Here was the final solution:
set savepath to "BUFF:BUFF:BUFF_ADS:A:00250"
set filepath to savepath as string
try
get alias filepath
set got_filepath to true
tell application "DropStuff"
try
Stuff alias filepath with deleting originals
set stuffed_alias to true
on error
end try
end tell
on error
end try
Thanks for all the help,
TracyV

If you're still in OS 8/9, get the Stuffit Commands osax instead, from

DropStuff, although I think Stuffit Deluxe has a more complete dictionary.
