I am doubtful that this would help.  I can double-click the icon for a 
Photoshop document and my Mac will open it in Photoshop.  And I just 
tested a simple AppleScript

tell application "Finder"
    open file "Temp:bonnie3.tif"
end tell

My Mac was able to recognize the file as a Photoshop document and cause 
Photoshop to open it correctly.  I wonder if VueScan is using the correct 
code for sublaunching files in another application.

Neil, are you using the Mac OS 8/9 version of VueScan?  If so, does 
VueScan do this correctly for you?  What OS version are you running?
