You're right, I didn't look at those. So much for that theory. I looked 
at apps, packages, and garage band files and they all worked.

I don't think looking at .DS_store files works, because those are only 
created by the Finder after a folder has been opened. Unviewed folders 
don't have those generally.

There's probably another way to do this but Richard is likely right that 
it is better to use the OS if possible. If we knew why Chipp needed the 
info it might help. I've never needed it myself, since the only times I 
generally script inside of packages are with my own standalones.
