Something like this might work (tested on OS X). It opens the contents
folder.
tell application "Finder"
open container of container of application file id "POrg" -- Palm
Desktop

Rob,
Actually you're snippet opens up the folder containing the folder
containing the application!
But I quite like working with application ID's, so I thought I'd throw
in my own version based on Paul's snippet and yours.
tell application "Finder"
--activate
set app_ to application file id "ttxt" as Unicode text -- TextEdit
application
set theContents to folder (app_ & ":Contents:MacOS:")
reveal theContents
end tell
I admit that I didn't test it beyond Palm Desktop so I guess it needs
to be adapted on an application by application basis. On my machine:
tell application "Finder"
container of container of application file id "POrg" as text
end tell
--> My Hard Drive:Applications:Palm:Palm Desktop:Contents:
Thanks DP.
