Found it on the AppleScript Sourcebok, but still haven't found any good
info at Apple :)
The 'open location' function seems to work wonderfully. However, there
is one problem with both using AppleScript and the Connect to Server...
menu item in the finder. OS X uses a braindead way of naming NFS server
fileshares. I names it based on the hostname or IP address. This is
bad on many levels. First, this gives no indication of what is stored
on that share. Secondly, if there is more than one share to be mounted
from a given server it tacks an integer on a subsequent mount names.
In UNIX, I can mount "
nfs://192.168.1.103/mp3"; on "/Volumes/mp3" which
also works well in OS X, but using the command-line, which I prefer,
does not create an icon on the desktop.
Is there any way to override the name shown in the Finder in Applescript?
Thanks for the help,
Bill

Read the AppleScript 1.7 release notes and TechNote 2029. And look in
AppleScript Help in the Help Center. You'll find more about this in The
AppleScript Sourcebook's report on AppleScript 1.7 in Mac OS X 10.1 (it
will
be updated with new material this morning).
