Burrton,

you can do that with applescript from Rev.

check the following command:

do As applescript.

the applescript for that is something like

tell application "Finder" to
  return the comment of file "the file" of folder "the folder" of  
disk "startup disk 1"
end tell

and yes, there are easier way to reference files in applescript but I  
don't know it :-)
