A great way to work with AppleScript is to hit the "Record" button and then
do whatever it is you want to do. AppleScript Editor will actually write a
script that you can use, or tweak to your own specifications.

>>> Hi,
>>> I have just been trying to set up email notification of

>>> set up Eudora so that it can only be started from a settings file.
>>> However when I launch the AppleScript and it asks for the location
>>> of Eudora I cannot select a settings file, only the application
>>> itself. If I select the application then when Eudora launches it
>>> brings up a dialog asking the user to locate a settings

>>>
>>> Any ideas of how to get around this situation?

>> Changing the script to something like this should get around the

>>
>> -- Launch Eudora using a settings files
>> tell application "finder" to open EudoraSettingsFile
>>
>> -- Now that Eudora is running, ask it to do something
>> tell application "Eudora"
>> blah
>> end tell
