However, you might want to look into the full-fledged (optional) TCL support, as TH1 apps get tedious to debug once they're longer than 5 or 10 lines. (If you're just spawning a process and returning its output, though, you don't need much code.) That said, i cannot comment on the TCL bits - hopefully someone familiar with them can enlighten us on how best to go about it. > I want to share my working proof of concept with you guys, so you can test > it and give feedback on it.

Once he's got that on file, you'll be set up with commit access. :) -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
