OK, I choose a bad example. My problem is refering to *any* file or
folder and I need to specify it with a posix path. So to test it on
your system try this
set AS_path to POSIX file "/.DS_Store"
or any valid file on your system.

Do you mind me asking why you want to refer to any file using POSIX ? I’d be curious if you told me about the whole point of your script.
Best,
