Nice script: I think you can probably save some execution time
by incorporating both finder calls in the same osascript call:
try something like the following (which I've called "psel" on
my machine, as "select" has already been grabbed by zsh). I like
the "heredoc" quoting of applescripts as it pretty much allows
drag and drop to/from the applescript editor.
