    Default opening finder window

    Hi all

    I am trying to make director open a particular directory in explorer/finder on a click. In windows its pretty easy as I simply use :

    open "explorer.exe " & the moviepath & "c:\MyDocuments"

    But in OSX, I couldn't figure out any way to do this. I tried :
    open "xx" with "finder"
    open "/Macintosh_HD/Applications/"
    None worked. The top one tried to open the finder as a classic application !
    Could somebody suggest something here, please ?

    Thanks.
