Hi Barry, make the following changes to the script:
changes in capital letters

>> set theMethod to button returned of (display dialog "Do you want to move,
>> copy or alias the selected file to the destintation folder?" buttons
>> {"Move", "Copy", "Alias"} default button "Move")
>> set theDestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select your
>> destination")
>> tell application "Finder"
>>      set mySelection to the selection  AS ALIAS LIST — not really necessary,
>> but expedites things.
>>
>>      if theMethod is "Move" then
>>              repeat with aSel in mySelection
>>                      move aSel to theDestinationFolder
>>              end repeat
>>      else if theMethod is "Copy" then
>>              repeat with aSel in mySelection
>>                      DUPLICATE  aSel to theDestinationFolder —optional—
>> REPLACING YES (or NO)
>>              end repeat
>>      else if theMethod is "Alias" then
>>              repeat with aSel in mySelection
>>                      set itsName to name of aSel
>>                      set anAlias to make alias to aSel at
>> theDestinationFolder
>>                      set name of anAlias to itsName
