Thanks; that compiles and works but only lets me choose a single file at a time using the choose file dialog. What would I need to change to allow me to select a bunch of files and drop them onto the script for sequential processing and/or use it as a Folder Action Script so I can batch process things?

I can read that script and understand how it's doing it's work; but not being much of a programmer or scripter it is far beyond what I could produce on my own. I've gotten pretty good at modifying/borrowing from other scripts over the years to cobble stuff together but have never really been able to do much from scratch.
