Every example I see goes like this:

set filepath to "disk:folder:filename"
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
	activate
	download "http://blahdiblah.html" to filepath
end tell

I think I've even done it that way, although I can't find an example 
in my library.

But it gives me "URL Access Scripting got an error: Some data was the 
wrong type."  I've tried

to alias filepath
to file filepath
to file alias filepath

and probably a few others.

Or is it complaining about the contents of the page it's downloading? 
I've tried a couple of different pages with the same result.
