OK, a bit of an under-whelming response to my question, so let me ask a
different question that could also solve the same problem:
Is it possible to use Finder scripting to drag files one at a time into an
open window of a non-scriptable application? And also use the finder to
type commands, like command-S, command-V, command-C, etc? I know QuickKeys
used to do this kind of thing (dragging), but as far as I know, AppleScript
doesn't let you script a file drag.

Alternatively - drag selected folder containing all the files to an
