.ps == PostScript and droplet is Automation

.ps files are raw PostScript files generated by some CAD programs and drawing programs. When asked to open them PhotoShop will raster them into whatever res and colorspace you ask for.

If you have recorded actions into an .atn, you can create a "droplet" by choosing File:Automation:Create Droplet. This creates a separate .exe file that you can drop files onto for batch processing. All dropped files can be substituted for any files Opened during creation of the original action, and you can specify Save options, too.

So I already know a little bit about batching and automation; I'm having trouble with the specifics of creating one new file if I drop multiple files onto a droplet, and how to control selection of those files within the dropped set when I can't use an absolute filename reference (since the Droplet has to override this name in order to process the dropped files).

This question has been asked and denied several times on google, but I thought I'd ask here in the "guru's" forum
