- The steering file could also be a folder of aliases. You drag the folder
- onto your app and it resolves the aliases it finds inside and copies the
- real files. The only problem is figuring out where the destination should
- be, but you could have a destination alias.

- Also, I you have MPW, I have a tool that resolves aliases. You this you
- can easily write a script that resolves the alias and duplicates the real
- file.
