into looking at class. I appreciate the help. It works so long as one
doesn't try to pick the items out of the list generated with a drag
and drop operation onto an applet.
You can get round that by not using the default typing that the open
handler imposes. Since the items dropped are also the Finders
'selection', you can just tell the Finder to get the selection and
work with that.
Depending on how quick you are vs. the machine (depending on the
machine load, it may be possible to change the selection before the
applet runs) and where the files came from (the Finder is not the only
source of "open" commands) this may or may not be true. I won't go so
far as to say "don't do it", but understand that it's not the same
thing.
