Doesn't work, unfortunately. The first line is really what I had in
mind. To get it to compile, I have to drop "folder": set fileList to
every file of (choose folder). But then I get a "Can't get every file
of ... " error.
It seems like it ought to be a simple proposition, but I guess maybe I
should just stick with my original, iterating through each item and
sending each one separately to Distiller...
