Thanks, what I want to do is close a specific window in the finder. I have
tried


Tell application "System Events"
  close window "Dev"
End tell

But then for an error NSReceiverEvaluationScriptErr: 4 :-(. "Dev" is the
name of the window in the finder which is of path "/Volumes/Dev".


Any idea's - I like the keystroke approach, but not sure how I get it to be
directed at a particular window.


Thanks
Mark.




System Events!

The easiest thing to do is probably to make sure that the window you
want to close is frontmost and then:

tell application "System Events"
keystroke "w" using command down
end
