Yes, you're right, and the problem was that I wasn't thinking it through. I am creating a CLI that can take a script from a file, and that script might ask for additional input from the user. Unfortunately, I was still of the mindset that the script would be fed to my app via stdin, and of course, that's wrong. The short form is, it ends up being a non-issue for what I'm trying to accomplish. The lesson here is to not post questions late at night when you're already working on 4 hours of sleep. :-) Thanks to everyone who responded. __________________________________________________________________________ Kem Tekinay (212) 201-1465 MacTechnologies Consulting Fax (914) 242-7294 http://www.mactechnologies.com Pager (917) 491-5546 To join the MacTechnologies Consulting mailing list, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
