Thanks Rob:

Thanks, this is useful for me, but I should have described the situation
better.  I'm wondering if it's possible for the OSX package itself that's
sitting on the desktop to accept a drop (on the icon) and know to place a
file within its contents.  I don't need to filter any of the dropped files,
but simply place any file that is dropped on the app icon into a designated
folder.

Maybe this is too much voodoo to pull off...

Thanks & Regards.

P.S. I almost missed your message -- it came in from the year 1969... :-)
