The term smart-quotes refers to the left- and right-leaning quotes (or
apostrophes) that are outside the normal ASCII range. A normal ASCII quote ha a
value of 0x22 and a normal ASCII apostrophe has a value of 0x27. Those are the
ones you need with “do shell script” otherwise you’ll run into problems.
Ed’s example AppleScript uses “quoted form of POSIX path of myFIle” which
surrounds the path with appropriate ASCII apostrophes (quoted form of) so that
you don’t have to worry about it.
Yes, what you have works. I even tested it against a .dmg file on my system,
which became suitably mounted.
