That was in a tell finder block, so it is a file spec right?
I'm wondering if that variable as passed to the syntax
quoted form of posix path TestFile
is best to be passed as file, or file as text. Currently I
understand it as file? so when I say
tell application "finder"
open TestFile
end tell
The file opens in its native app just fine. This, i think,
is proper use of that syntax and I have verified the
path is good. Both paths are good.
The script is asking for its arguments, so looks like the
way I read it into a property is OK, it's just not
coming together for some reason and I
don't know why.
