thanks for the suggestions; unfortunately none of them worked for me-- i
suspect that is because they require modification to my particular case
which, as a first-time AS'er, i'm not aware of.
reading through the "AS Finder Guide", i see reference to "insertion
location", which seems like it might do what i want, but my guess as to its
correct use somehow selects a bunch (but not all of my) desktop items. ??
anyway, i would think what i'm after has to be attainable in a more simple,
straightforward matter.
below please find 2 different but similar non-working scripts which should
shed some light on what i'm _trying_ to do (hopefully):
----------
tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "output" of folder "clients"
reveal original item of selection
open selection
select every item
move selection to the folder which contains this folder
end tell
----------
tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "output" of folder "clients"
reveal original item of selection
set parentFolder to insertion location
open selection
select every item of container window
move selection to parentFolder
end tell
please advise.
thanks in advance.
