Newly created alias is not an alias

[Alain Farmer]

Hello Kay,
I tested it empirically.
In version 6.6.2, the aliasReference of a file/folder returns the path to file/folder itself; not empty as you suggest.
Either way, my function below works:

function isAlias pathToAlias
   return the aliasReference of pathToAlias is not pathToAlias
end isAlias

The Dictionary says:

Comments:
If the aliasPath does not exist, the aliasReference function returns
empty and the result is set to "can't get".

If you are seeing something different, submit a bug report.
