Thanks all.
Yeah, I knew about the context menu (right click, scroll to proper item in menu, unclick on it). I was looking for an explorer selection followed by a single key press.
Didn't find a solution with ME. When I last left this topic, I was walking down the path of issuing a ^C (from within ME) to copy filepath the clipboard but didn't find an effective way to transfer the clipboard contents to a usable filepath within ME. Probably an easy ME extension to write but in the end, it was easier to transfer files to a Mac and use it's automation functionality.
Still would like to have this capability within ME -- seem like such a natural function to have.
