I hate AppleScript. Read-only language.

I have an empty project document. I'd like to add a file to it. Here is what I've tried. The example is minimal; the relevant portion of the event log follows in an AppleScript comment:

==tell application "BBEdit"
set theProject to project document "myproject.bbprojectd"
-- set doc to make new text document
tell theProject
set anItem to make new project item with properties {file:(POSIX file "/Users/me/myproject/Kicking/Kicking.tex") as alias}
end tell
end tell
(*
make new project item with properties {file:alias "Macintosh HD:Users:me:myproject:Kicking:Kicking.tex"}
--> error " (MacOS Error code: -1701)" number -1701 from «class pexp»
*)
The POSIX file exists. How should I be doing this?
