oh, sure. But that is the mouse-intensive way I hope to avoid with my bad shoulder. And you can't save a set of criteria as far as I can see, without an entry.
I've been sent some shell scripts (thanks Mark) so now will probably run it from BBEdit. Also some other tips so I think I'm probably sorted.
I always end up using BBEdit, now it's even virtually replaced the Finder for me...:-)
Thanks everyone. Glad the list can still work with applescript idiots like me...
