This is what I use, and it works in Jaguar. The main difference is
that I'm setting the clipboard rather than copying to. Maybe that's it.
set theFile to (choose file)
set the clipboard to theFile as string

I need to take the value that is returned when a user chooses a folder

a prompt and copy it to the clipboard. I've tried doing it this way:
set dpath to choose folder with prompt "locate Data Folder"
copy dpath to clipboard
However I get an error saying "can't set clipboard to alias". I've
tried
adding an AS STRING to the code to return the value as a string
instead of
as an alias or folder to no avail.
