This works fine on MacOS9

Ken, Brian... Could you let me know if it also works on MacOSX, please?

replace "/" with ":" in tURL
delete char 1 of tURL
put "tell application"&& quote&"Finder"&quote &cr&\
    "open file"&& quote&tURL&quote &cr&\
    "end tell" into tScript
do tScript as AppleScript

Almost ready to post the final composite cross-platform multi-type
solution.
