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

>> Instead of launching an application, how can we ask the Finder to
>> open the
>> package folder (via AppleScript, that is)? Thank you.

> open container of container of application file id "POrg" -- Palm
> Desktop
> end tell
