"Applescript Error
Finder got an error: Handler can't handle objects of
this class"

I would do stuff like get the path name of the file and tell the finder to open the doc.

try that and if it fails, let me know

> I open my mail program by double-clicking on the Settings file. I cannot open the mail program first as it wants to create a new settings file with defaults.

How can I open the Settings file by means akin to dragging and dropping the settings file onto the application? Or by double-clicking the Settings file?


This is the attempt that isn't working (because it launches the mail app first):
- - -
tell application [email app]
activate
open "applications:[email app directory]:settings"
end tell
- - -
Suggestions?


 Thanks,
 Dave
 (a real AS beginner...)
