Hi,

Would someone be so kind as to look at the following brief script and tell me whether the fault is mine or System Events:

--script "FW Path (POSIX).scpt"
tell application "Finder"
activate
set the clipboard to POSIX path of ,
((folder of front window) as string)

display dialog "clipboard:" & return & (the clipboard) --OK

tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder" to ,
tell menu bar 1 to click menu item "Show Clipboard" of ,
menu "Edit" --"Clipboard contents: unknown"
end tell


Is this better?

tell application "Finder"
activate
set the clipboard to POSIX path of ,
((folder of front window) as string) as string

display dialog "clipboard:" & return & (the clipboard) --OK

tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder" to ,
tell menu bar 1 to click menu item "Show Clipboard" of ,
menu "Edit" --"Clipboard contents: unknown"
end tell
