That's exactly the problem: if you want a file's name, and it's something
like "Accounts 10/05", your script is going to return "Accounts 10:05". And
if you then use that as a name somewhere else in your AppleScript -- which
is presumably why you'd be doing the exercise in an AS script in the first
place -- you're potentially riding for an error.
