Apple

Yesterday, I Googled "property list file" and found some interesting results. This lead to this handler ...

on makeNewPlistFile(folderAlias, filename, initialRecord)
set newFileName to (folderAlias as text) & filename & ".plist"
tell application "System Events"
make new property list item with properties {kind:record, value:initialRecord}
make new property list file with properties {contents:the result, name:newFileName} --> «class plif» "/Users/lutherfuller/Desktop/TEST_FILE.plist"
end tell
end makeNewPlistFile --------------------------------------------------------------------
-- folderAlias is an alias to the location where the new file is created
-- filename is text, the name of the new file without ".plist"
-- initialRecord is an AppleScript record which becomes the content of the new file

It works very well, but I would like it to return an alias to the new file.

This seems impossible to do. Neither System Events nor the Finder nor anything else seems to know what a

«class plif»

is. All I can get is an error message. It is impossible to convert this to an alias, a posix path, a text path or a reference.
