Hugh, I tried it without the "file:///" in OS X as well as with other variations with less than three slashes. All did nothing. Perhaps it's the fact they are "/"-delimited paths that they require "file:///" ?

I understood that <send tPath to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL"> works fine on both flavours. Not sure whether "/" has to be replaced by ":" as the delimiter, however. Anyone care to confirm these points for MacOS and MacOSX? I have a vested interest in the outcome! /H _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
