Hi John,
Try adding an additional variable newFolName so that you are making the
changes to the same base name. It should look something like this:
======================================================================
tell application "Finder"
set {folName, cnt} to {"Test", 0}
set newFolName to folName
set |exists| to (get exists of folder named newFolName of desktop)
repeat until |exists| = false
set cnt to cnt + 1
set newFolName to folName & cnt
set |exists| to (get exists of folder named newFolName of
[NO-BREAK]desktop)
end repeat
set newFolder to (make new folder at desktop with properties
[NO-BREAK]{name:newFolName})
end tell
======================================================================
