AppleScript Formatting - Strings

Why can't I apply formatting to the strings designating the paths of
aliases? Other strings display in my chosen font and colour, but those alias
paths are stuck with ugly, utilitarian black Geneva.

If these alias-path-string-things do not come under the heading of Values
(numbers, strings, lists) in the formatting options, then what are they, and
why don't they have their own font and colour options?

I know there's a reason why it was decided that paths for aliases should be
a different type of string to, eg, paths for Finder items. Could someone
remind me what that reason was, and what the difference is?


Thanks


Nick
