thanks I know and use this and this one for windows:
## was = name of folder to open
...
    set the hideconsolewindows to true
     replace "/" with "\" in was
     get shell("explorer.exe /root," && was)
...

Using "launch document folder_name" is much easier :-)
An no need to check for the platform, too!

And yes, AppleScript IS cumbersome!
Imagine Apple would have chosen HyperTalk for the Mac system scripting  
language
as they actually had planned... Sigh :-)


But WAIT!!!
Just tested it again and this still works here for me on OS X 10.5.1  
and Rev 2.9dp2!

Hmmmm. One would need to know if this is somewhat "officially"  
supported by Rev.


Best
