Thanks to Malcolm and Martin.

Do you have to see the window in Finder?...
Yes ("reveal myPackage" would be exactly what I want, except that it
fails silently when the target's container is a package file, rather
than a folder.) Also, I'd now like to apply the results more
generally to any package (or is "bundle" the correct word?) Here at
the office, I use Eudora instead of Mail, but I'd like to do the same
thing with, say, an Xcode project, which is also a package/bundle.

contentsOf ((choose file) as alias)
I can't make "contentsOf" work (gives errors when told to System
Events, Finder or the script) nor "contents of".
In the following script, I've created an Xcode project:
property pPkgPath : "HD:Users:jonathan:dummyProject:dummyProject.xcode"
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events"
set thePkg to (file package pPkgPath)
set itsprops to properties of thePkg--result: long list
{package folder, class} of itsprops --result: {true, file package}
contents of thePkg --result:
file package "HD:Users:jonathan:dummyProject:dummyProject.xcode:" of
application "System Events"
open contents of thePkg--opens the project in Xcode
end tell
It looks as though I might be able script it in System Events,
possibly with the Folder Actions Suite? Does anyone have experience
with this?
Thanks again,
Jonathan
