Bret,
I'm not clear on what you are saying. First of all, you don't save scripts
as Folder Actions. You save them as compiled scripts, THEN you attach them
to a folder. The attached folder's icon will then change to include the
small "s" script icon. There is no arrow. Arrows show up on aliases. Keep in
mind that your script has to be saved as a compiled script. Applets and
droplets won't work.
For the record, your script worked perfectly OMM, OS9/ASv1.4 so I don't
think it's the code. Have you upgraded to 9.2.2 ? It may be a case of
something else that no longer works under that new system.
Anyway, good luck.
