Make New File in System Events


  • Subject: Make New File in System Events

I can write this code ...

    tell application "Finder"
        if not (exists file fileName of locRef) then
            make new file at locRef with properties {name:fileName}

and get exactly what I want without error.
But when I try this code ...

    tell application "System Events"
        make new file at locRef with properties {name:fileName}

I always get: Error = 6, NSArgumentsWrongScriptError

'locRef' is an alias, but in the second snippet, I've tried posix path also,
but same results.

Does anyone know what's going on here?
