Since upgrading to OS X scripts that opened specific files and
folders no longer work.

# This doesn't work. I have tried to set the path in different ways
:Volumes:Documents:In_Progress
/Volumes/Documents/In_Progress
I have also tried it taking out the the select folder and simply
putting a path after an open statement.
tell application "Finder"
activate
select folder "In_Progress" of disk "Documents"
open selection
end tell

## This works but I don't know what it is setting the path to.
-- To be run under OS X
-- Should run without a problem under < OS X

tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
set the chosen_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Folder to open
")
end tell
tell application "Finder"
activate
open the chosen_folder
end tell
