Because I don't know how to make a shortcut

Well, I know how to make a shortcut/alias/link, but I don't know how to add certain properties to it. I supposed I could make another shell script to run it, but the shell script has to be run via Terminal which defeats the purpose of making this whole thing GUI-oriented anyway...

There are two more things I'd like you to do for me, but for the first one I need to rewrite the GUI to accommodate this script. The second thing is more of a question. I've never used OS X so bear with me. Does the 64-bit version of Mac OS X need to install some kind of 32-bit library to run F@H?

EDIT: I lied I have another question. I was looking through the code again and I see that you never execute the file. Was this the plan for the script? I'm sure it's not a big deal to fix. (Just and then right?)

I don't think anything extra needs to be done. I've never ever run into 32-/64-bit compatibility programs for anything thus far. Even if it's a 32-bit program or something trying to run on 64-bit, "Rosetta" is supposed to take care of it. I don't think it's anything we need to worry about.

I only made it so that this script fetches the FAH program, unzips it, puts it in the /Applications folder, and deletes the original .tgz file. So it's more like an "installer." If I were to add the execute line to this, then it would always be fetching the file and installing it, THEN running it. I think you would need a second script for running it to avoid the aforementioned problem.

Okay thanks.

That's actually a good idea. I think I'll break up the installation and running scripts. In later releases I'll make an option of running the program now or later. Then I could add a shortcut to run to that script... What a great idea. Thanks!
