Set up 2 fields:  "fFILES" and "fFOLDERS" and pop this into a button:

on mouseUp
    put empty into fld "fFILES"
    put empty into fld "fFOLDERS"
    put the files into fld "fFILES"
    put return after fld "fFILES"
    put the folders into fld "fFOLDERS"
    put the number of lines of fld "fFOLDERS" into vFOLDERLINES
    repeat with vCOUNT = 1 to vFOLDERLINES
       put line vCOUNT of fld "fFOLDERS" into sFOLDER
       if sFOLDER contains ".app" then
          put sFOLDER after fld "fFILES"
          put return after fld "fFILES"
          end if
    end repeat
end mouseUp

fairly crude; but what else can you expect in 10 mniutes.

If you want to say Thank you, you can explain

into anything!!!!!
