Yeah, thanks, I found that code. It makes perfect sense.

That's the code I _couldn't_ find. Where did you manage to get if from? I

Um... yes, quite. That was a bit of a basic error wasn't it! I think my best

You may have a very old osax in your Scripting Additions folder. Before
"Standard Additions" was created (OS 8.1? or 8.5) as a portmanteau set,
there were separate osaxen - some Apple, some 3rd-party - of many of the
same commands. 'choose folder' may have been one of those. I thought they
kept the same raw codes, even for the 3rd-party commands they bought and
incorporated, however. (If you have an old machine, check to see if you
still have a Scripting Additions folder in Extensions folder too.) But it
sounds to me as if you have _another_ 'choose folder' from some other of
osaxen. You could try removing all of them , restarting your computer, and
then start adding them back in, omitting Standard Additions, until you find
the interloper.
One hint - since it's taking precedence, the osax file in Standard Additions
must begin with a character alphabetically higher than "St". It will be near
the bottom of your scripting additions.
