Hi Ian!
I think what you need to do is have the script on the OS X server work
something like this:
on adding folder items...
set whatevervariable to <get ip of machine dropping file(s)>
tell application "Finder" of machine whatevervariable
activate
display dialog...
end tell
end tell
The above is not the actual code ;) but should convey the idea and
where you need to research. This link should start you on your way:

I'm sure of the "machine" reference but don't know offhand how to
derive the "dropper's" IP address.
HTH,
JB

What is missing in this script and can this be set up on an OSX server
to display to all OS9 users or will I have to install on each
workstation?
