Using System Events rather than Finder

Hi All. Last evening I was trying to rewrite some of my scripts that use the Finder to use System Events instead. Unfortunately the first command I picked to work with, duplicate, does not duplicate files as stated. Only after an hour or more of failures did I look on the net for answers. What I found (in this lists archive) was that the command doesn't seem to work for anyone.

Rather than continuing to pound my head on the desk, could someone point me to a guide for scripting System Events to replace Finder (i.e. not GUI scripting)?

Thanks
Joe
