command itself that was somehow aborting with the backgrounding behavior.
But despite and & both inside and out, the shell command wo

Okay, it's a ugly hack, but it gets the job done.
I wrote an AppleScript that fetches it's input from a text file, then calls
the Unix shell line for me, which redirects output to another text file (the

On the LiveCode side, I write the input to the tex

I did a tutorial for the LiveCode.tv event, showing how to use open process to
write to and read from telnet. Closing the proces
As per the Dictionary (and my own testing):
Note: On OS X systems, you can use the open process command to start up an
application, but not a Unix process. To work with a Unix process, use the
