Opens automator with a window for a new workflow with the first and only step “get specified finder items” with the my ‘eraseprefs’ name and a blank path.

Anything obviously in error? Thanks.

Event log: tell application “Automator” open “Xik:Library:Application Support:Automator:Workflows:ErasePrefs” current application open “Xik:Library:Application Support:Automator:Workflows:ErasePrefs” end tell

I go this way as no results are forthcoming when a workflow saved as an application is run, beyond the menu bar notification series.
