Ah, but it's more than mere techie gadgetry:  Using Rev's built in 
resource functions you not only have another means of accomplishing your 
original goal, but indeed the very one AppleScript uses.

See the Dictionary:
getResources
getResource
setResource

Good for as long as Apple continues to support resource forks (I give it 
until OS XI).
