Oh, excuse me. There is a C API to do this -- see AddFolderDescriptor.
I was thinking more in terms of things like FAXstf (Lite) or Presto! Page
Manager, rather than your interesting amalgamation of Welsh and Aramaic. You
know, somewhere to put things that you have to put up with for the moment.
Then, when you get better replacements, you could just run an applet kept
handy for the occasion, such as
tell application "Finder"
move every item of (path to unspeakable items) to trash
empty
end tell
without even having to touch the things. Thanks for letting me know it's
possible.
