| I would like to get/set the raw data of an Alias ('alis') in AppleScript.
For example, if you run: set foo to path to current application
AEPrint (in Script Debugger) shows the type of foo to be: 'alis'($000000000180 ...... 012F00FFFF0000$)
I want to extract the value inside 'alis' into a variable. Later, I want re-create this 'alis' with that data which can later be resolved and used within the AppleScript again as a regular Alias.
I have tried coercing the value into another type (string, text, data, etc), but it always results in an error. Are their any tricks to accessing this raw data?
Thanks, Steve
