What is bad here is that between System Events, info for, and

And while you all have fun chewing on that, I'm merely pleased this
works,
too:
tell application "Finder" to tell (document file f) to set {file type,
creator type} to {"DISH", "DHAT"}
As Henny Youngman said, if you can't say it in one line...
That's for jokes and nutshell philosophy.
For AppleScript, if you click on the Event Log button at the bottom
right of a Script Editor window and then run the above one liner,
you'll see something like:
tell current application
path to desktop as text
"zarlino:Users:pma:Desktop:"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set file type of document file (alias
"zarlino:Users:pma:Desktop:test.txt") to "DISH"
"DISH"
set creator type of document file (alias
"zarlino:Users:pma:Desktop:test.txt") to "DHAT"
"DHAT"
end tell
As you can see, the advantages of a one liner insofar as AppleScript
execution goes, are none.
