[OSX-Users] Re: Applescript help?

[JD Marsters]

It's not my chosen specialist subject area, but the form:

|repeat with i from 1 to number of items in added_items
set new_item to item i of added_items
set the item_path to *the quoted form of the POSIX path of* new_item
...
||end repeat|
|
|might be of use. I nicked this information from:

Best,

JD.
