Hmm, I think I’d rather swallow the verbosity pill. 

set _show to "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1; killall Finder"
set _hide to "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0; killall Finder"
set _readCurrent to "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles"
set _vals to {"1", "true", "yes"}
set _state to do shell script _readCurrent

if _vals contains _state then
do shell script _hide
else
do shell script _show
end if


Best


Phil
