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?

Hey Dave,
It's germane to mention what email client you're using. I'd guess Eudora, but there're one or two others that can use multiple settings files in similar fashion.
set settingsFile to alias "Path:To:Your:Settings:File"
tell application "Finder" open settingsFile end tell
Or more specifically and with error checking:
tell application "Finder" try
open settingsFile using application file id "com.qualcomm.eudora"
on error errMsg number errNum set {cr, sep} to {return, "------------------------------------------"} set e to sep & cr & "Error: " & errMsg & cr & sep & cr & "Error Number: " & errNum & cr & sep beep display dialog e end try end tell
-- Best Regards, Chris
