Default Value Class Returned
In most scriptable applications, each object has a value that you can obtain simply by referring to the object in a script. For example, the value of a paragraph object in a word-processing application is a string that includes
style and font information.Unlike other scriptable applications, the Finder can control only the representation of its objects within windows and the properties it defines for them; it can't retrieve or alter text in a text file, for example. Therefore, the value returned for most Finder objects is a reference to the object, not the object's data.
For example, this script returns a reference to the file MyFile, not the contents of the file:
tell application "Finder" get file "MyFile" of startup disk end tell --result: file "MyFile" of startup disk of application "Finder"
