Well, the Finder dictionary says nothing about being able to get the
items of a folder satisfying a test.  In general, "whose" is not
something that AS handles for you, but something each app must support
directly.  I thought the Finder did support that there, but ...

You could do something like this:

tell application "Finder"
	set rawList to every document file of every folder of the startup
disk as alias list
	set theList to {}
	repeat with aFile in rawList
		if aFile is document file and creator type of aFile is "MSIE" then
			set the end of theList to aFile
		end if
	end repeat
end tell
theList

        set aList to get (every document file of every folder of the startup
disk) whose (creator type is "MSIE")
        repeat with f_ref in aList
                set the (creator type) of f_ref to "sfri" -- Change the creator
type to Safari
        end repeat
end tell


Any ideas why this does not work ?

TIA
