If I remember right you had an older iMac so I'm assuming classic OS (8 or 9). Look in your system folder for a folder named "scripts," and inside that for a folder named "finder scripts" - or search (command-f) for "script" and check what shows up. These are "canned" scripts so there's nothing you really need to know to run them - if you double-click, Apple's script editor will open up & show the script. Ignore everything but the "run" button - hit that & it should go. I use OSA menu, freeware which puts these scripts in a drop-down menu on the right of the menu bar, but that's not necessary if it's a very occasional thing.
