thanks

this is what worked for me. I had figured it out before getting this response. i wanted to post it for others references:

heres my applescript.

tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "file.pdf" of folder "test"
open selection
end tell

heres the button comand for the projector:

on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "open");

hopefully this of use to anyone interested. Please email if there are any questions.

thanks again for all the help.

Hi and thanks for the info.
The applescript, does it have to be named "open.app" then or something?
Because I don't see how fscommand ("exec", "open") knows what file to open.

And is there another way needed to do this on a linux platform ?
Or will it work just as well ?

thanks in advance
