Hi Ivan,
Many thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.
In my testing, after copy-pasting your script (below) to Script Editor and
saving it as a .scpt file, the Move button worked flawlessly but nothing
happened with the Copy and Alias buttons under High Sierra.6.
I used two different files (both on the Desktop), two different destination
folders (both in the Downloads folder).
Any suggestions?
I will test under Mojave (in a virtual machine) over the weekend.
