Well i think this is a problem between what Applescript calls a
file and what the FInder calls a file, same term but different
meanings :
tell application "Finder" -- Tiger 10.4.
set theSelection to selection
repeat with i in theSelection
set fi to info for (i as alias)
end repeat
end tell
That's the one!

It's interesting to compare the information returned by these two for
the same file. From info for you get:
name:"Send Registration.setup", creation date:date "Friday, 6 May
2005 16:10:29", modification date:date "Friday, 6 May 2005 16:10:29",
icon position:{0, 0}, size:1051.0, folder:false, alias:false, package
folder:false, visible:true, extension hidden:false, name
extension:"setup", displayed name:"Send Registration.setup", default
application:alias "Macintosh HD:System:Library:CoreServices:Setup
Assistant.app:", kind:"Setup Assistant Document", file type:"file
creator:"type identifier:"dyn.age81g3pysz2a", locked:false, busy
status:false, short version:"", long version:""
(this doesn't copy accurately from Script Editor?...), whereas
properties gives you more, including the file type and creator:
{class:alias file, name:"Send Registration", index:13, displayed
name:"Send Registration", name extension:"", extension hidden:false,
container:folder "pete" of folder "Users" of startup disk,
disk:startup disk, position:{-1, -1}, desktop position:missing value,
bounds:{-33, -33, 31, 31}, kind:"Alias", label index:0, locked:false,
description:missing value, comment:"", size:63.0, physical size:
4096.0, creation date:date "Friday, 6 May 2005 16:10:29",
modification date:date "Friday, 6 May 2005 16:10:29", icon:missing
value, URL:"file://localhost/Users/pete/Send Registration",
owner:"root", group:"pete", owner privileges:read write, group
privileges:read only, everyones privileges:read only, file
type:"slnk", creator type:"rhap", stationery:false, product
version:"", version:"", original item:document file "Send
Registration.setup" of folder "Assistants" of folder "Library" of
folder "pete" of folder "Users" of startup disk}
But now I know how to get at all this info, anway. Thanks!
Pete
