make new finder window with properties {target:alias} falls short?

Hi there,

A code snippet:

tell application "Finder"
  set a to alias "Mac HD:Users:Me:folder:"
  make new finder window with properties {target:a}
  end tell
end tell

This opens a new Finder window, but does not point it to 'a'

The following code works

tell application "Finder"
  set a to alias "Mac HD:Users:Me:folder:"
  tell (make new Finder window)
    set target to a
  end tell
end tell

I see a little flicker as it points itself to the right folder after
opening. (Cosmetic detail which would be nice to iron out).

Why does 'make with properties {target:alias}' fail?

Brennan
