EXAMPLE
The script that follows tiles all the open container windows in an overlapping
pattern and sets each window’s View property to 3 (“by Names”).
set {a, b, c, d} to {4, 44, 267, 311}
tell application "Finder"
repeat with n from 1 to (count of container windows)
if n = 1 then
set bounds of container window n to {a, b, c, d}
else
set {a, b, c, d} to {a + 20, b + 20, c + 20, d + 20}
set tiledBounds to {a, b, c, d}
set bounds of container window n to tiledBounds
end if
set view of container window n to 3
open container window n
end repeat
