Thanks Terry, and thanks Bernd!
Bernd, that one works pretty slick! If I use the word Applications and
also do one for Utilities it would cover the majority of apps. Might
be a winner for my intended use.
Nice.

not very nice but works for mail.

set y to every application file in x whose name contains "mail"

set z to y as alias
set z1 to z as text
set z2 to POSIX path of z

end tell
if you want to do it for apps that are in subfolders of the
application
folder like iWork etc. you have to adapt it further. If you dont
know where
to look for an app this script is out of luck.
