Thanks again Yvan,
I'll have to look into a script that I use that successfully uses the "kind" to detect folders.
From your info I found "class" and that seems to detect "Folder" well enough for my purposes.
FYI;
I have a script that changes file names by the batch, change "A" to "B", etc.
I'm working on a new script that will do the same for entire folders.
