Ok,

It was not clear enought. it's right that is a very Mac problem, but MP did
give a good solution.

Some folder Res Fork were hidden with a little app name Phantom for some
registered users on that Mac who are sun bathing somewhere.

So, i did have to recover the content of folders which were hidden on the
finder without any Res fork.

I was unable to recover the Res fork with either ResEdit nor AppleScript,
who can't "catch" the folder.

I just supposed that moving file would be easy with MP. When doing that
first operation i didn't have MP, and i mail the first question.

Back to the problem i write a script, about ten lignes (i did trash it, no
floppy:-(, to move the content of the hidden folder to a new folder. And it
was succesfull immediately.
It's very pleasant to see how MP did easily manage that :-)  But probably
not for the Phantom creator))

It just give me the stuff for a new question :

- is it possible with MP to manage Res Fork using Apple Events ?
