A neat way of navigating and moving files around in OSX is (well, can be)
to have two windows stretched horizontally across the screen in column

So I thought I'd quickly hack a script to set those two windows up.
A little while later I gave up. And of course the X Finder isn't recordable
now, so I couldn't even watch it at work.
I had tried:
tell application "Finder"
make new window with properties {bounds:43,..... view:column view}
end tell
--> can't make new window
Sapristi!!!
tell application "Finder"
make window ...
end tell
--> (oh, some other error thing.)
Clues, please.
tell application "finder"
set this_window to make new Finder window
set the target of this_window to the startup_disk
set the current view of this_window to column view
end view
(stolen straight from Apple's own Tandem script.
"make new finder window" seems to be the key
