Don't know why you're using the "get" here.
set theFile to POSIX file "/Users/paul/Music/AliasTest/test.mp3"
May be all you need. If the file doesn't exist at compile time you may need
to do a bit more.
> set theAlias to make new alias file to theFile
You need to specify where you want the new alias file to appear. AppleScript
doesn't assume the current directory.
This may help get you started
tell application "Finder"
set theFile to "/Users/edstockly/Documents/2-CoverHighlights"
set theFile to theFile as POSIX file
set aliasFile to make new alias file at desktop to theFile
set the name of aliasFile to "New Alias File"
end tell
ES
