Thank you Philip,
Please forgive my novice AppleScript status, however when I ran this script
- I get the error: " Finder got an error - ditto: /myDisk/aTest.zip: no
such file or directory"
Q: what did I do wrong - how can I fix this?
tell application "Finder"
set fold to (characters 1 thru -2 of (POSIX path of ("/myDisk/aTest/")))
as text
do shell script "ditto -ck " & quoted form of fold & space & quoted form
of (fold & ".zip")
end tell

Thanks - RevDave
