Thanks. Now I'm playing with "open process for write" but that isn't 
working either.

What I want to do is simulate dropping several files onto an app. I 
didn't write the receiving app, and it isn't appleScriptable. It is 
intended to be a droplet that can receive multiple files at once. I can 
use "launch <document> with <appname>" for a single document, which 
works fine, but I want to be able to send it multiple docs.

When I use "open process", I get a weird result:

open process "myApp" for binary write -- program launches and opens okay
write <filename> to process myApp -- "program is not open for write"

Huh? I'm also not sure whether I should be sending it the file path or 
the contents of the file, but I'm thinking the filepath is correct, 
since I'm trying to simulate a drop action.

Anyone know? How come it says the program isn't open for write, when I 
can see it sitting there open in front of me?
