In this type of dialog or similar, how can I move the current selection
in the list by typing the first letter, or even better several letters,
to get to the first fitting line?:
set newStorage to (choose from list thefolders with prompt "Move to which
folders")
Is there something built into Applescript or Mac OS X I can use or do I
have to handle this on my own? Any suggestions?
You don't have to do anything; it's already built in.

I beg to disagree with that.
This script won't allow me to get green. Unless I
type "gre". I guess the list is accessed from the
bottom up. Need to change the spelling of green
to 6-green.
tell application "Finder"
set theDefaultList to {"none"}
set theColorList to {"none", "orange",
"red", "yellow", "blue", "purple", "green",
"gray"}
(* 0 = none , 1 = orange, 2 = red, 3 =
yellow, 4 = blue, 5 = purple, 6 = green, 7 = gray
*)
set theChoice to (choose from list
theColorList default items theDefaultList with
title "Color Selection" with prompt "Option key
to select entire folder.")
if (theChoice is false) then return -- "User canceled."
end tell
