As a right newbie, I was similarly baffled this morning when looking at a little AS application that created an HTML document and automatically called on a specified browser to open it. The script used the 'file id "MSIE"' syntax to run Internet Explorer. I wanted to change it to Chimera, but Chimera's a package and thus has no creator type. What is the OS X way of doing this?


Try this:

tell application "Finder" to application file id "CHIM" as text
info for result

Kind regards,
