The syntax can throw you. Perhaps some examples will help.
set ileus to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
count each file of folder ileus
end tell
-->odd. but I need to put "folder" before the alias reference(?)
set peep to (choose folder) as string
tell application "Finder"
count each file of folder peep
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set faacp to every folder of desktop whose name starts with "Pu"
count of faacp
end tell
