You're trying to pass a statement, and it has to be evaluated to be passed to
the handler. The answer is to put the code in-line:
try
((path to desktop as text) & "not.there") as alias
set succeeded to true
on error
set succeeded to false
end try
if succeeded then
...
As an aside, your original code is calling "path to desktop", which returns an
alias, concatenating it with some text, which returns a list of an alias plus
text, and then coercing that list to text, joining the two resulting strings
with whatever your text item delimiters are set to at the time. As well as
being inefficient, the delimiters issue makes it potentially very fragile.
