DropStuff isn't scriptable. :-) However, this seems to work in OS X:

tell application "System Events"
set alreadyRunning to (process "DropStuff" exists)
end tell

set file_to_be_stuffed to (choose file)
set other_file_to_be_stuffed to (choose file)
tell application "DropStuff"
open {file_to_be_stuffed, other_file_to_be_stuffed}
if not alreadyRunning then quit
end tell

Items are stuffed according to DropStuff's preferences and the archive is
saved in the same folder as the first item in the list.
