Index a given folder

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to AppleScript, hope this isn't going to be overly 'newbie' for the experienced users -- seems like it should be fairly easy -- but I'm stuck.

How can I create a text file index of a given folder?

As in, I'm trying to create a script which can:

1.  be pointed to a chosen folder,

2.  will get the names of every file in that folder,

3. generate a text file which lists all the files in that folder (order doesn't really matter, but alphabetical would be nice), and

4.  save the text file to Desktop.

That's all I want it to do.

Again, sorry if this is painfully newbie.

Thanks,

J. Donnelly.
