Taliesin, that's a big help. Of course, I'd love to do this with but a
single click rather than a click and hold, but it sure beats what I had
to do before. Thanks for the swift reply

Yeah, I knew about that, biut what if none of those does what I want? I
just want a single click to open the folder in the finder. I was hoping
someone might have 'share-ware'd' a solution, but thus far it looks like
no one has. Time to get out xcode and dig around in the docs.

Thanks for the effort, none the less.

An easier way, if you don't mind a little setup, is to create an
Automator workflow to get/open a specified folder.
