These are the notes I had on DropScript from April 23, 2002:
In the old version of DropScript, it would run the script once for each
file dropped on it. Now it takes all of the files dropped on it, and
passes the list to DropScript, which is the way MacPerl droplets do it,
or the way the command line does it...

I'm thinking it should take whatever you drop on it (file or folder)
and pass it in just as if you called the script from the command
line...
