Yes I see. after reading the link you posted I noticed that it was
responding to events which I admit I didn't realise it could do. I 
have
only used it to control GUI apps via the usual hooks. I've also linked
it with shell commands (using do shell script) which are easier to use
in scripting than trying to drive finder IMHO!

Thanks for the clarification Kent,
