Kai's and Axel's replies much appreciated. However, I see that the information I provided was not only sparse, but misleading.

What I want is to open the window of one of Mail's mailboxes, specifically a mailbox "forEditing.mbox" that I've created. It's a package: if I ask the Finder to ask the mailbox's folder "Mailbox" to list its packages, my mailbox and the other mailboxes are listed. However, none of them contains a "Contents" item, or any folder at all, for that matter; hence Axel's workaround,

     -- Get a Finder reference to folder "Contents" of the package.
     get folder "Contents" of result
     -- Display contents of that folder.
     open container window of result

doesn't work.

What I want to do is an AppleScript equivalent of control-clicking my mailbox, then in the popup menu that results, choosing the "Show Package Contents" menu item. Is there a UI-scripting command to do this directly, perhaps?

Many thanks again, Jonathan
