Folder action -- attaching script to a folder

Hello All,

Dumb question, but OS 9 is new to me... How do you attach a script to a
folder? I want a folder action to move each screen capture as I make them,
and I plan to make a bunch.

--example script--
tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "Picture 1" of startup disk
move selection to folder "captured images"
end tell
--example script--

I would rename them too, but I don't have a problem with that part.

Thanks!

/Michael
