Is not really a file I/O - its a file copy operation done by the file system, without even the ability to write in the file names (IIRC it executes interactive file chooser dialogs) and shouldn't be here. I don't know if AppleScript has IO commands, but if it has real IO then the example should show that and if it hasn't, then the example should be removed. |
