Is there a way to make this a droplet?

I pasted the code, but when I run it...the file I had selected (obviously)
deselects and the script 'checks' the compiled script's size.

Thanks!

Is there any possible routine I could use to display the size of a file in a
human readable form (For example 1.5 Megs etc.)

tell application "Finder"
set the fileSize to the size of item 1 of the selection
end tell
set the units to "bytes"
if fileSize is greater than 1024 then
set the fileSize to my roundit(fileSize / 1024)
set the units to " kilobytes"
end if
if the fileSize is greater than 1024 then
set the fileSize to my roundit(fileSize / 1024)
set units to " megabytes"
end if
display dialog "The file is " & fileSize & space & units

to roundit(inputsize)
return (round inputsize * 10) / 10
end roundit
