This is not a hack write.
Only those who do not know how to program will make such a statement.
tell application "Finder"
activate
try
set showHidden to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder
AppleShowAllFiles" as string
if showHidden is "OFF" then
say "Showing dot files"
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON"
do shell script "killall Finder"
else
say "Hiding dot files"
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles OFF"
do shell script "killall Finder"
end if
end try
end tell

Are you talking about dot files like .hidden_filename? If so then
there is no way short of some hackery to get them to show. You can
turn on showing file name extensions. Why would you want them to
show? You can, of course, access them through the terminal.
