I'm not (yet) seeing any of the problems you described. 
Although I'm in the midst of rebuilding Mac Python from sources,
I'm using Jack's PPC binaries. ( Are you sure you replaced the 
Python Core alias in the extensions folder, and ran the mkplugin
aliases applet? ) 

Anyway -- thanks for the tip -- its very simple and it *ALMOST* works! ;-) 
It seems to only work for TEXT files - but what I was working on was
a binary data to text converter applet, so no luck. 

If you drop a non text file onto the applet, it doesn't hilight or
respond. If you select a bunch of files, it seems to only catch the
text files, and ignore the others.

         By doing just a little every day, you can gradually 
                let the task completely overwhelm you.
