Check out the dictionary for 'System Events' (but don't do it with Script
Debugger*)

tell application "System Events"
set theFile to file [path to file] of application "Finder"
set theFolder to folder [path to folder] of application "Finder"
duplicate theFile to theFolder
end tell

Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

*SD has a problem with this dictionary, but the esteemed Mr Aldritt promises
that a fix is imminent.
