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



set folderAlias to choose folder with prompt "locate Data Folder"
set THE clipboard to folderAlias as string

or

set THE clipboard to "" & (choose folder with prompt "...")
