Note that you can’t use the Move command instead of the Copy and Delete
commands in this script, because the Move command changes to Copy when
moving items between volumes.
Get 3
The standard application command Get is a request to return the value of an
object or objects. The Finder version of the Get command is similar to the
standard application command, except that in most cases the Finder simply
returns a reference to objects or objects requested. For properties that consist
of a value (such as the Name property) rather than a reference (such as the
Desktop property of the Finder application), the Finder returns the value. In all
cases, the Finder assigns the value returned to the predefined variable result.
