A neat way of navigating and moving files around in OSX is (well, can be)
to have two windows stretched horizontally across the screen in column
view; this lets you dig deep *and* wide.

So I thought I'd quickly hack a script to set those two windows up.
A little while later I gave up. And of course the X Finder isn't recordable
now, so I couldn't even watch it at work.

I had tried:
tell application "Finder"
make new window with properties {bounds:43,..... view:column view}
end tell

--> can't make new window
Sapristi!!!

tell application "Finder"
make window ...
end tell

--> (oh, some other error thing.)

Clues, please.

tell application "finder"
set this_window to make new Finder window
set the target of this_window to the startup_disk
set the current view of this_window to column view
end view

(stolen straight from Apple's own Tandem script.

"make new finder window" seems to be the key
