	We have a little application that goes with StuffIt Deluxe called
Drop*Stuff that does just this - it even supports BinHexing the resultant
archive.

	Also while demoing AppleScirpt & StuffIt last week at MacWorld, I wrote
a "droplet" (scriptable dropbox) which would do the same as Drop*Stuff, but was
done via AppleScript so it could be customized and would work with Lite as
well as Deluxe.

	Another thing that migh work here too is that the "stuff" filter for
FilterTop used to work by calling StuffIt Lite/Deluxe vai Apple events.
