Opening folders from Rev

[Mike Brown]

Hi Ken,

Still no luck.  I tried it on Mac OS 9.2, OSX and Win 98... no luck on all
fronts.  I also tried minimizing the script for each specific OS to avoid
mistakes but still no luck.

On Mac OS 9.2 the script does bring the Finder to the front but then nothing
else happens.  I created a test fld for the script and it is adding the
appropriate path to the folder a sending the AppleScript message.
