I wouldn't touch GUI scripting with a proverbial 10 foot pole. But, I
wondered if, perhaps, it could be done another way. My revulsion
yielded the following ...
tell application "System Events" to
set visible of every application process whose visible is false and
background only is false to true

Well here is how to do it via GUI scripting
activate application "Finder"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
click menu item "Show All" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Finder" of
menu bar 1
end tell
end tell

Ahh; no. I was speaking of the Finders 'Finder' Menu item 'Show
All' that shows all hidden App.'s .

Do you mean the ability to show hidden and system files?
If you do the command is
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Just throw that into a do shell script command if you want to
script it.

Guys/Gals;
Could anyone give me an example of how to mimic [or use the
real thing], the functionality of the Finder's 'Show All'??
TIA
