You may well grumble . . .  :)

I just tried this:

put the folders into fld "fFILES"

pointing at the default folder

Revolution is listed as 'Revolution.app'

all the folder folders (cough) don't have that suffix;
so all you need to do now is set up a script to list
files and append all the folders that end with the suffix .app
to it.
