Dear Ken,

Everything works now perfectly.
Thanks again.

Some little questions:


set thePath to (((path to startup disk) as text) &
"Volumes:volname:rest:of:path:")

I do not understand the meaning of (((path to startup disk) as text) &"Volumes:volname:rest:of:path:")

compared to the simple:

set thePath to ("VolumeName:folder:folder:")

I have tried:
Copy folder"X" to thePath. It is refused. Why ?


tell application "Finder"

What is the use of "activate" ? I have tested scripts with or without it without noticing any difference.
When is it usefull to "activate" an application?

Yours
Bernard
