Is there a way of adding a directory level to an alias without going back to a path string?

If I understand your question ...
if folderAlias already exists, then you want an alias to a sub-folder named, say "sub-folder".
So write this ...


	set subAlias to (folder "sub-folder" of folderAlias) as alias

In other words, coerce a reference to an alias.
