-- NOTES
-- You can determine your Drobbox username (usually a string of numbers) by copying a file to your
-- Dropbox public folder and then right clicking on the file to get to the "Copy Public Link..." command.
-- This link will be of the form "http://dl.getdropbox.com/u//.
-- The portion you want for your dropboxName is .

-- When finished, save this file as an Application or Application Bundle and drop files/folders on it to run.
-- It WILL NOT work when saved as a script due to the "on open" command.
-- Once you save as an Application Bundle, you WILL NOT be able to edit the program, so keep a text backup.
-- You can put the program in your Dock or on your desktop. You can even change the icon, to one perhaps that
-- resembles mobileMe :) by replacing the file in the Application Bundle that is located at
-- .app/Contents/Resources/droplet.icns with another *.icns file

-- This program was insipired (and borrows from) an applescript posted here:
-- http://homepage.mac.com/swain/Macinchem/Applescript/mobileme_script.htm
-- Further information: http://www.macresearch.org/copy-public-link-menu-item-idisk

-- YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE
