Eudora has a command to allow you to open text files via the File Menu but applescript command :

open file "path:to:file" or open alias "path:to:file" causes an error.

How do we tell Eudora to open a text file?

It works okay. The catch is that Eudora is looking for a list of references as input. So you just have to make sure your file or files are in a list. This, for example, worked fine opening two simpletext files.

tell application "Eudora"

open {alias "OS 9 Main:Desktop Folder:test 1", alias "OS 9 Main:Desktop Folder:test 2"}

end tell

- web
