Ronald Hofmann points out that whereas this fails:

	set what to alias "Drobo:source:aFile"
	tell application "System Events" to move what to alias "Drobo:sink:"

this succeeds:

	tell application "System Events" to move alias "Drobo:source:aFile" to alias "Drobo:sink:"

So much for the theory about System Events not accepting an alias as the thing to be moved.



Very very strange. Luther, do you have any comment?

Nelson
