I tried ...
tell application "System Events"
set hFolder to (make new folder at the end of xxxxxx with properties
{name:"background"})
and it worked, then something strange happened. After this line of
code there appears ...
tell application "System Events"
move pictFile to hFolder -- tried "at the end of " too
end tell
It does not error, but it doesn't move the file, either. So I tried ...
tell application "Finder"
move pictFile to hFolder
end tell
This always errors. hFolder, it seems was created by System Events and
won't work in Finder.
Trying to convert it to an alias errors also.
Normally, I would have used only Finder, but hFolder was and will be
an invisible folder.
All of this is in a script that worked in Tiger and should be easy to
fix for Leopard.
But something very strange is going worng.

where xxxxxx is an alias. The first occurrence of xxxxxx always
works, but the second always fails. I've tried making the second
occurrence a posix path, a reference and some other things, but
there's always the error: "System Events can't make xxxxxx into a
type location reference." (or sometimes 'integer') I can't figure
out what's happening here. Does anyone know?
Luther:
It is easy to forget that, I do it very, very often, but get used to
make something at the beginning or at the end of wherever you are
making the new stuff.
So,
set hFolder to (make new folder at the end of xxxxxx with properties
{name:"background"})
will work.
