Philip:

My salient part of my code is below:

<dict>
    <key>Program</key>
    <string>bin/cp</string>
    // What do I put for the AppleScript?
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>cp</string>
        <string>-Rf</string>
        <string>Location</string>
        <string>Location</string>
    </array>
// What do I put for the AppleScript?
</dict>
</plist>


I added comments for where I think the AppleScript should go, though I may
be very wrong about it. ;)
