Thanks for these alternative ways of using 'exists' which I've taken a note of - I see all of them use either Finder or System Events.

Eric.

In fact, I don't remember who described an alternative which doesn't require triggering Finder of System Events.

It's :

try

"Macintosh HD:Users:trucmuche:Desktop:machinChose.pdf:" as alias

set isAvailable to true

on error

set isAvailable to false

end try

but, Christopher Nebel from AppleScript Engineering warned us several times against this scheme.

It's only to underline these warnings that I repeat it here.
