It's not my chosen specialist subject area, but the form:<br>
<br>
<code>repeat with i from 1 to number of items in added_items<br>
set new_item to item i of added_items<br>
set the item_path to <b>the quoted form of the POSIX path of</b>
new_item<br>
...<br>
</code><code>end repeat</code><br>
<code><br>
</code>might be of use. I nicked this information from:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

Anyone out there who can help me please?<br>

Thanks!<br>
