Considering the overwhelming number of requests that we

If you use the osax, do report bugs, please.
Many thanks for this! Much appreciated.
In my case, I ended up going with 'do shell script' and 'mv'.
Always a bit fiddly scripting the shell from AppleScript, but it works.
First impression of the osax is... ugly terminology! Spaces are
not used between words, although I appreciate that 'filerename'
can not easily become 'file rename' or even 'rename file'
without potential terminology conflicts, which are especially
risky with osaxen.
Perhaps worse is the terminology 'create symlink' - where what
appears to be a class (symlink) is baked into a command name.
Then again, it's free and useful. I will now find out if it
actually works. :) Thanks Emmanuel!

There are a large number of ways of skinning a cat, and at a
certain point you have to agree that the skin is on the outside
and the cat is on the inside.
