Hi Ken:
Thanks for your reply. I see where you're coming from regarding
NSWorkspace, and it seems like a great idea! How would you recommend
scanning it? A loop or something else more creative? ;) Is there some
reason it is better/easier to use the bundle identifiers instead of the
name? And I assume you would get this by sorting through NSWorkspace as
well.
