File Associations & Auto-Open with OS X

[Thierry Arbellot]

Hi Peter,

Add the following handler to the main stack script:

on appleEvent pClass, pID, pSender

   switch pClass & pID
   case "aevtodoc"
     request appleEvent data  -- extract the path of the file to open
-- put here the code to process the file
     break
   default
     pass appleEvent
   end switch

end appleEvent

Regards,
Thierry
