Check carefully Finder's dictionary. You read that "make" wants an
"at" parameter to specify where the new object (here, the alias file)
should be created.
From what I read in that dictionary, also, you should use "alias
file", not "alias".
"alias" is the generic class used by AppleScript to describe files
and folders that exist. For instance an AppleScript reference to my
hard disk is "alias Startup"
"alias file" is a class specific to Finder, it is the class of those
files that we usually call "aliases".
