sounds like this might work -- but how do i get the input in my applescript?
i.e., i've got the following `make_reminder.scpt`:
do shell script "echo '" & input & "' |
/Users/astacy/code/reminders/make_reminder.rb"
how do i set the 'input' variable to the contents of the Quicksilver text entry?
thanks!
