PARAMETER

referenceToObject

A reference to the object to put away or a list of references.

Class:

Reference or list of references

RESULT

Reference to the object put away or a list of references.

EXAMPLES

This script puts away the specified objects on the desktop:

tell application "Finder"

put away {file "My File", folder "Projects"}

end tell

You don’t have to specify the desktop explicitly, but to put away items in the

Trash you must specify that they are in the Trash:

tell application "Finder"

put away {file "My File" of trash, ¬

folder "Projects" of trash}

end tell

NOTES

The statement put away items in referenceToContainer (where

referenceToContainer

is a reference to any container) won’t compile. Instead, use

the statement put away every item of referenceToContainer.
