Move .ps files to Distiller Watched Folder?

Move .ps files to Distiller Watched Folder?

Can I "Add" the following process to an existing Script that prints a .ps
file to disk. The .ps files are created in the same folder as the original
PageMaker docs. I want to have the export to .ps portion of the script
complete and then have all files with a .ps extension moved to an Acrobat
Distiller Watched folder. Here's what I have so far...

set foldertoprocess to (choose folder with prompt "FilesToConvert")

tell app "Finder" to set filestoprocess to every file in foldertoprocess

tell app "PageMaker"
do script -- lots of app specific stuff here
end tell
----------------------- here's where I need help ------------------------
set filestomove to (files in "FilesToConvert" whose name contains ".ps")

tell app "Finder"
relocate filestomove to "distillerfolder"
end tell

-- end script

Am I missing some needed additions. I've also caught a few threads related to
the location of scripting files/info on the hardrive... my Scripts &
Scripting Additions folders are in the System Folder. Should they be in the
Extension Folder? Any help appreciated!
