I'm trying to have the user choose a PDF file, but because some of them don't have the 4-character file types, I can't simply use the pre-OSX syntax:
choose file of type {"PDF "}
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2005/May/msg00094.html offers some explanation, but does Panther support type identifiers. I don't think so as I don't set a "type identifier" listed in the "info for" properties.
I can always check the file type after the user has chosen one, but it would be so much nicer if I could just limit the selection right off the bat.
