Since you can drop several files and/or folders at once, the 'on open'
argument is always a list: a list of aliases. Therefore to get the file (as
alias) if you just drop one, you have to get item 1 of that list. To get
just its path coerce the alias to string:
on open theFiles
set theFile to item 1 of theFiles
set thePath to theFile as string
or, all in one go:
on open theFiles
set thePath to (item 1 of theFiles) as string

OK, I give up. How can I get the path of a file dropped on a script?

This seems like it should be simple, but I've spent a couple of hours
