OK, can someone provide a really simple example of a .mt script that
includes a shell command? I created a text file (with UNIX line breaks)
called "test.mt" with the following script:
on startup
put "Hello"
put shell("ls -l")
end startup
When I run it from the command line (./test.mt), I get this:
Hello
I can run other metacard scripts and everything else works perfectly.
Sooo.... What am I doing wrong?
