largest free block

Given the completely different memory architecture of OS X, I don't think the concept of "largest free block" is meaningful. You'll note that OS X doesn't offer any way to set the RAM partition size of an app because it doesn't need it. Memory is allocated and released as needed.

Here is the script
tell application "Finder"
activate
set memblock to (largest free block / 1024 / 1024)
display dialog "The largest free block is about " & (memblock) &,
" megabytes."
end tell

When I try to check the syntax I get the following syntax error and the
word "free" in the parentheses is highlighted.

"Expected ',' but found identifier."

Does applescripting not carry over into Jaguar?
