Drag and Drop onto App Icon

Hi Ben

I was wondering if you or anyone else had an example of these:

Is this about right?

on appleEvent pClass,pID,pSender
	if pClass is "aevt" and pID is "odoc" then
		request appleEvent data
		-- fileOpen is my handler that accepts a file path as a parameter
		-- which is what I assume is in the appleEvent data?????
		fileOpen it
	end if
end appleEvent

My specific situation is I am using a compressed stack as my fileType for
this project. In previous projects I've used just normal stacks so the
engine opens the stacks OK as long as I set the registry settings correctly.
This time I've got to handle the environment variables as you say but I keep
getting told that Windows can't find the file.

So the problem is that I keep getting told that Windows can't find the file
even though it does find the file and my decompress & load script is run.
I'm running Windows XP if it makes a difference?????


Thanks in advance
