I suppose you could try something like this (modifying any quoted strings as
required):

-------------------------------------------------------
(Any wrapped lines abutting the left edge of the window
should be reconnected to the end of the previous line)
-------------------------------------------------------

--=================================================================

set fList to {alias "Macintosh HD:IMAGES:image1.jpg", alias "Macintosh
HD:IMAGES:image2.jpg", alias "Macintosh HD:IMAGES:image3.jpg"}

tell application "Finder" to open fList using application file (path to
application "Mystery App")

--=================================================================
