That should work, but my preference is to use the alias class.
(Don't confuse the 'alias' class with 'alias file', they are two different
animals.)
set aliaslocation to "/Users/edstockly/Documents/"
set aliaslocation to POSIX file aliaslocation as alias
Tell application "Finder" to set aliasFile to make new alias file at
aliaslocation to theFile
Or, if you want it in the same directory as the original file:
Tell application "Finder"
set aliaslocation to container of theFile
set aliasFile to make new alias file at aliaslocation to theFile
End
ES
