Scott-

Give this a try...

set fileList to every file of folder (choose folder)
repeat with listitem in fileList
set itemToProcess to listitem
display dialog "Process this file: " & itemToProcess
end repeat

I just threw in the "display dialog" just for demonstration purposes. This is where you would process the file in focus.
There are many more people on this list that know a lot more than I do. So don't just go by what I say. :-)

Regards,
Cassj

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.

Actually, I wrote before I tested it. This won't work for me, because
it returns a list of file names, not aliases, so I can't pass it to
Acrobat Distiller. What I need is the easiest way to take a folder and
generate a list of files as aliases. I can do it be iterating through
all of the files, but there must be an easier way. Any ideas?
