This works and copes with the (years old) inability of the finder to return
a single item alias list. Someone will no doubt reply with a work around
that avoids the try block, but I like to have aliases or strings to work
with.
tell application "Finder"
try
set theSelection to the selection as alias list
on error
set theSelection to {the selection as alias}
end try
end tell
repeat with anItem in theSelection
info for (anItem as file specification)
end repeat
