Answer 1

Try:

set outPath to "/Users/student/Desktop/Accounts.txt"
set x to text returned of (display dialog "Username" default answer "")
set y to text returned of (display dialog "Password" default answer "")
try
    set RAccounts to read POSIX file outPath
on error
    -- file outPath does not exist … do things
end try

OR

tell application "Finder"
    if exists POSIX file "/Users/student/Desktop/Accounts.txt" then
        beep
    else
        beep 2
    end if
end tell
