Ta-oops! Greg's answers (coerce to alias) was better. Just add "as alias"
after that last "p" in my code above and it will look as if I had it right.
Scriptable apps are so quirky and various as to exactly what types they are
willing to accept, and what they do when they receive the "wrong" type, that
this can't really be called a bug; it's just the usual AppleScript foo. My
book has a groan on just about every page about this sort of thing... m.
