I respectfully disagree with you, Phillippe. I wrote this little
script that will return the 'kind' attribute of any file you choose:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set filechosen to choose file
set filekind to kind of filechosen
display dialog "filekind: " & filekind
end tell
I'm not saying this is THE solution to Bill's situation, but it seems
like t least one way to distinguish between a "Classic Application" and
an "Application".
Kind regards,
Cassj
