Creeping-featuritis

The goal was to get the pathname of a file or folder onto the clipboard.

The solution was simple:
on open {dropped_item}
tell application "Finder" to set the clipboard to the dropped_item as text
end open

The solution, after creeping-featuritis:
property Default_button : "Macintosh format"
on open {dropped_item}
set the display_format to button returned of (display dialog "Which format do you want the file path in?" with title "Choose display format" buttons {"Cancel", "Unix format", "Macintosh format"} default button Default_button)
set the Default_button to the display_format
if the display_format is "Unix format" then set the dropped_item to the POSIX path of the dropped_item
tell application "Finder" to set the clipboard to the dropped_item as text
end open
