UnLock Files query from an Earthling.

Great Scripter's, I beseech, ye. Sorry to interrupt, but was curious if someone
could tell me, why an UnlockFile script to open files within folders and unlock
them, would freeze my:

G4/500/dual/1gigRAM/20gigHD/OS922

The images are from a DVD I am trying to back up. OS922 File Exchange sees them
as Quicktime files. But they are actually locked layered RGB .psd files, and
can avg 250 mb per file.

If I copy the files to my HD. Burn them to DVD for backup, then drop them on
the Applescript to Unlock, the Mac crashes. I can't erase them without
unlocking them first.

I reboot and drag one file at a time onto the script, answer YES each time, all
unlock fine.

Or I select all files, Apple+I, and Uncheck Lock, then Apple+W to close each
window.

What is causing the Mac to freeze, when multiple files are dropped on it? I
thought the launguage looked like it was for multiple files? I'll try and post
the script here if possible or someway post the inner script language if need
be. jr
