Open several apps and docs with a double-click
Authored by: pecosbill on May 18, '04 12:41:59AM
I don't understand why you don't just make a folder... call it My Heinous project or Daily Open or whatever... then
do script "open /path/to/folder/*"
which will then tell the OS to open anything in that folder. You put aliases of whatever suits you into it (cmd-opt-drag). I presume these need to be supported by the open command which generally means something you can double click in the GUI (not sure about X11).

(BTW, on the Mac, it's an option key. PCs use ALT in garish caps)
