simple question

is it possible to attach an action to a folder?
i want it to open Appleworks when i open a certain folder.

Hi,

yes, it is

enable folder actions (from contextual menu)
save the following script into /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/
and attach it to your folder (again with contextual menu)

on opening folder this_folder
	activate application "AppleWorks" -- I don't know the exact spelling
end opening folder
