There is a way (please don't ask me, I don't know what it is) to see the 
Unixy files/directories in the Finder.

funny thing is that if you su root and do it the script acts as
expected. Just type hello.py at the prompt without the path and the
script executes just like a real operating system for big boys and
girls. Is this Apple's way of saying unless it is applescript don't
script on your macintosh?

<excerpt>Thanks for indulging me my queries! I promise to lurk again
soon. This is a great list thanks to everyone! If there are actually

good to know.
