I'm probably misremembering the exact details - it's been a while now.
It may even have just been redirection

Is there a way that using secureMode might work for what you need?
No, what we need there is a way to invoke the engine with a file
argument. Something that says "load and run the following script".
As a trivial example, a three-line script file "lastyear"
put the files into tFiles
filter tFiles with "*2010"
put tFiles
would give me all the files in the current directory that were created
last year. And as a worst case example it could be invoked with
LiveCode -f lastyear
even better if I specified a file mapping so that .rev files were
launched by the LC engine so that I could just say
lastyear
Wouldn't you be able to get the params you need from a standalone?
I haven't used the runtime engine by itself in a very long time, but
have had great success (and quite a bit of fun) adding CLI support to
standalones.
