the script I am working with is:

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
make new alias to these_items
move these_items to folder "Macintosh HD:Users:ecolabg4:Documents:journal articles:raw refs:"
end tell
end adding folder items to

But, it make the alias on the desktop (I have yet to get it to make it in this_folder), and the move does not work.


All you would need to do it this, but DON'T DO IT !!


on adding folder items to me_ after receiving them_
tell application "Finder"
make new alias to them_ at me_
move them_ to desktop
end tell
end adding folder items to


I'll leave you to work out why.
