I seem to vaugely recall a command for converting posix paths to applescript paths. Am I mis-remembering?
I could convert it myself, but I really think I'm missing something.

I have a path like so...

file://localhost/Applications/Address Book.app/

this is the url of a file as returned by the finder.
I'd like to convert it to an alias, path, file ref, etc.

That's a URL, not a POSIX path. The POSIX path would be:

"/Applications/Address Book.app/"
POSIX file result

I'm not aware of any way of converting a URL to a Mac pathname with normal AppleScript tools.
