  I would think that the Macro Maker in System 6.0 or some other similar
utility should be able to do this.  One potential problem is that with the
sequence you would probably want to do is:  1. Mount remote volume,  2. Open
the System Folder on that volume,  3. Double click on Finder (with option and/or
command keys),  4. Close system folder,  you would be forced to perform
all of this blindly.  What you would really like to do is:  1. Mount remote
volume,  2. If successful, opem System Folder,  3. If successful, ...
I'm not sure what might happen with something like Macro Maker if the desired
files weren't found.
