All Right - that works great - now we're cookin'!!!
Thanks Folks.
I like your idea Mr Tea - and will start doing it...

while I'm at it: I have two more quick questions...
1 - is there a way to set - whatever the topmost window happens to be (
Rather than a specific one) - like:
set theFolder to [[[ the fontmost? / topmost? window ]]]
2 - I have several AppleScripts that are able to open particular files on
the drive. (I will start with your VAR idea... )
OLD
open file "main:goodstuff:test1.fp5"
Or new?
set theFolder to "main:goodstuff:test1.fp5"
open file theFolder
* My problem is: when folders and files are moved around - the script
fails.
Question: is there some "try" routine - that if it doesn't find the file or
folder - that a dialog window can have the user to find the location and
have that permanently stored back in the AppleScript? If so, what would
that look like? ( I'm not very good AppleScript as you can see - So any
actual code would help greatly.)
