Hi from Beautiful Brittany,

Mac User.

Not very proficient with Applescript, and got no joy when
googling to find a solution.

I have a complete list of all .pdf files on my computer
which (traditionally) all open with "Adobe Reader".
Since I found the "Skim" application, I now want to modify
the "open with" (see the Finder "Get Info" Menu) for certain
of these files, so that they open with the "Skim" application.

Can I do this in Applescript (which I will call from
a LiveCode/Revolution stack) ?

Grateful for any help.

And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this......
Existence that multiplied itself
For sheer delight of being
And plunged with numberless trillions of forms
So that it might
find
itself
innumerably
