I have a side question. Assuming that only the file name is needed
(and not caring if the extension is included or not) would this be
better that using the Finder (any snake pits)?
set theFile to (choose file)
set text item delimiters to ":"
set theName to (last text item of (theNewFile as string))

None that I know of. That's the standard way of extracting path
components. I used the finder to make it clear where you can get this
info directly.
