need ditto zipping help

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Tiemo,

Here's an AppleScript snippet that shows how to lock and unlock files.

set myFile to choose file
tell application "Finder"
	set the locked of myFile to not the locked of myFile
	return the locked of myFile
end tell

It is easy to adjust the script to always set the lock of a particular  
file to true or to check whether it is currently locked etc.
