Hey Yvan,

Quoted form is for use with do shell script NOT with path strings in AppleScript.

Applescript Language Guide:

quoted form

Access: read only
Class:
text (page 123)
A representation of the text that is safe from further interpretation by the shell, no matter what its contents are. Mainly useful for passing a text string to the do shell script (page 163) command.

Take Care,
Chris
