Thanks, Duncan and Cassj. Yes, I do have strict control over the
folder (in fact, it should only contain PS files), so this should work.
Off topic--What is the list etiquette for resending a message if it
doesn't appear to make it to the list? This afternoon, I sent three
messages (all of which my mail log tells me went through), but only two
showed up (in fact, my message that started this thread unfortunately
refers to the first message, which didn't make it). How long should I
wait for a message to appear before I resend it?

see that I have used Tanaka's osax command "isFile" to avoid folders.
Not
very portable so not really worth using unless you're guaranteed to
have it
installed.
thanks and cheers

This works. It will also return the names of any folders in
"psFolderNamePath" Just keep this in mind. Of course, you may have
strict control over "psFolderNamePath" to prevent any stray folders
from dropping in. Just a heads up.
