This is what I had come up with. But I don't know the proper syntax. I would
think something to this effect would enable me to attach a folder action to
"Proof HP". Don't laugh too loud, I'm new to this ;)

tell application "Finder"
move every file of folder Users/admin/Public/Proof HP
folder Applications/HP Designjet/RIP/Hot Folders/
end tell

Thanks for the help!
