Try this:

tell application "Finder"
set theSelection to selection
--return class of item 1 of theSelection
--> document file
end tell
repeat with i in theSelection
-- info for anything -- the alias or file reference to the file or folder
set fi to info for (file (i as string))
end repeat


Cheers

I'm trying to get something like this working:

--
tell application "Finder" -- Tiger 10.4.
    set theSelection to selection
    repeat with i in theSelection
        set fi to info for i
    end repeat
end tell
--

but I keep getting errors like "Finder got an error: File document file ... wasn't found."

This gives the same error:

--
tell application "Finder"
    set theSelection to selection
end tell
repeat with i in theSelection
    set fi to info for i
end repeat
--

I think it's class trouble, but I'm not sure how to resolve it. Is 'info for' wanting something that the Finder isn't giving it?
