Hi Michael,
I use ShellPath and PathTypeShell extensively and with 2006r4 and
2007r1, my results have been pretty consistent (there was a bug in
2006r3 and earlier that would sometimes return a MacPath (colon
delimited) when you specified ShellPath, but this is fixed in my
experience in the latest two versions.
However, you don't need to do all of that manipulation as long as
you're using the default shell class. All you really need is one line:
s = source.ShellPath
That will give you what you need, including properly escaped spaces
and special characters.
