Below appears the result of "the detailed folders". Both folders and  
the Rev app share the "????????" type and creator, so that's not the  
answer; and as others have pointed out, the ".app" is an optional  
(though recommended) extension.

Abraham Wouter suggested something using the shell; I'll visit that  
next.

Seems a bit inconsistent that Rev can recognize an app bundle (as -not-  
a folder)  when you "answer folder" yet, when you want to work without  
user intervention, it stumbles. Probably should be a feature request,  
eh? "Be consistent" (Of course, it may be Apple that can share some of  
this as ".exe" is probably not optional in Windows, eh?)

Other suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Barry
