Hi there

I'm writing a simple command in Apple Script to run via Panorama, to
open Finder's Find function.

tell application "Finder"
activate
????
end tell

Where I have put ???? I would like the code to open the menu
File>Find... and to make sure a specific folder is open. I can't
seem to find any similar examples in the Mac OSX Missing Manual or
online. It's far too simple a question to get caught up in classes
etc!

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah :)
