No problem. When I say 'open', I normally have a little opener script in each 
file, that exists just to be called by the master file. If you have globals to 
be set, zooming, hiding windows, etc. this is where these go. If you have none 
of those, then these little scripts can just have 'Exit Script' as the only 
step.

The 'master' script, which opens the others, just has a Perform Script step for 
each file, each line calling the little script in each file to be opened.

I've has less luck with the Open File script step, so I never use it.
