I need to create an applescript for use on Mac OS 8.5 which will select the
contents of a folder and copy those files to a folder on a remote computer.
I can figure out the part about copying the files, but am having some
trouble with the selecting the contents of a folder part. The file names in
the folder change each day, so I can't just hard code the file names into
the script. How can I select the content of a folder where the file names
change?

--routine for selecting the source folder goes here --routine for selecting the target folder goes here

tell application "Finder"
	copy the files of the source_Folder to the target_folder
end tell

Don't know whether "files of the source_folder" works on 8.5, though; I don't recall when it was introduced.
