Finder open ... using...

Hi!

I have a problem with open ... using ... when scripting the Finder.
I have created a folder action that opens the files that are added to the folder in a certain application


This is what I've got:

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
	set the_application to choose application as alias
	tell application "Finder"
		open these_items using the_application
	end tell
end adding folder items to

This works fine, but I want to open the files in a specific application, called Simpletag.
Is there a way of doing that without knowing the exact path to where Simpletag is installed?


Cheers,
tomas
