Re-2: answer folder "sdsds";launch document it

[Mark Smith]

Just a bit of checking, and what seems to work on OS X is :

on openInFinder pPath
   get shell("open" && quote & pPath & quote) -- quotes are only  
necessary if there are spaces in pPath
end openInFinder

I'll bet there's a similar command on Windows.

If you want to use applescript, I'm pretty sure you can just <replace  
"/" with ":" in somePath> before you insert in to your ascript. But  
the shell is probably simpler for this sort of thing.

Best,

Mark
