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. ;)
