Thanks. And for the record, this is what I ended up doing:

myopen.sh:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
#!/bin/sh

DESTDIR=`mktemp -d -t myopen`
FILE=`basename $1`
cp "$1" "$DESTDIR"
open "$DESTDIR/$FILE"
#+END_SRC

It creates a "safe" copy of the file before calling open. I've been
using it this afternoon and it works nicely.

Thanks again,

Alan
