What I'm doing is searching for files
on the desktop that meet some conditions (the rest of the script).
So, what I've got to work:
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop; find ."
Let me know if there's a problem with that way.
Thanks!

That sounds like the problem!
So, should I put in a cd or something?
I'm sure this is obvious, but I've never tried it before...
do shell script "find ~/Desktop ."
Replace that period at the end with the directory you want to search for.
If this it is the user's home directory then why are you searching Desktop twice?
