Alias on MacOS 10.3.9

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

This must be a bug, please report it to bugzilla if it is not 
there yet.

If you check the result after the create alias command, you get: 
"can't create that alias" because framp is not a file but a 
folder. The correct command would be: create alias (tilmp) to 
folder framp, but this causes an execution error.

My advice is to use AppleScript instead, until the bug is fixed.

Best regards,

Mark
