Make 3
The standard application command Make is a request to create a new object
that can include values for properties of the object. The Finder version of the
Make command is similar to the version described in the AppleScript Language
Guide, except that the Finder’s Make command can’t set the value of the new
object’s data unless the new object is an alias file.
