The docs say we have a create alias command.
Is it possible to create an alias to a folder? (Rev 2.4, 2.7, 2.8)
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Scott,
Here is a bit of code I use to create an alias to an app on Macs.
Since apps are viewed as folders, maybe this can be used with little
or no modification.
--CREATE AN ALIAS FOR THE APPLICATION ON THE DESKTOP
repeat for each line thisLine in tFiles
put specialFolderPath("desktop") into tAliasLoc
put "/" & thisLine after tAliasLoc
--IF THE ALIAS ALREADY EXISTS THEN DELETE IT FIRST
--AS THE OLD ONE WILL BREAK THE INSTALLER
if there is a folder tAliasLoc then
revDeleteFolder tAliasLoc
end if
put specialFolderPath("desktop") into tAliasLoc
put "/" & quote & thisLine & quote after tAliasLoc
put tDestLoc into tSourceOfAlias
put "/" & quote & thisLine & ".app" & quote after
tSourceOfAlias
put "ln -s" && tSourceOfAlias && tAliasLoc into tCmd
put shell (tCmd)
end repeat
