"There is a folder" should work, but you need to make sure you pass the
extension (.app, .bundle, etc.), even if it's not displayed. Here's an
example (I picked TextEdit, but pick what you like):
on mouseUp
answer file "Select a bundle or app:"
if it <> "" then
put (there is a folder it)
end if
end mouseUp
As you can see, you need to use "answer file" to pick a bundle, but after
that, it should be treated as a folder.
