Thanks for your suggestion, Jehan! In fact, that's what I'm currently doing. But I thought there must be a better way, since this is very prone to quoting errors. I got hidden badly when I tried to pass a color definition as a quoted scheme list =:8O > I think it should work well even if there are double quotes in the > definition script because I think cat escapes them before feeding the > contents to the main command. I'd rather redirect stdin instead of using cat. PS: where can I find information about how to access operating system (files, directories, environment, etc) from script-fu? I've been searching for TinyScheme ducumentation but could not find anyting. There seems to be something like txn extensions and re extensions. But they don't seem to be available from script-fu?
