David,
Finder is yet recordable in OS X. This will do what you need.

Tell app "Finder to" make folder at desktop with properties {name:job_number}

This accomplished what you want to do without having to refer to the selected object which is more efficient.

I have a simple script that I use a lot in OS 9, and I have finally made the move to OSX and it no longer works. Simply put, I used to create a folder on the desktop and modify the name of it. I used:

make new folder at desktop
select folder "untitled folder"
set name of selection to job_number

In OSX it will make the folder on the desktop, but then it will no longer select that new folder. What do I need to do differently?

Also, prior to OSX finder used to be recordable, but it doesn't seem to be any longer, can any one point me the right way?
