Thanks for the quick reply. I'll look into that one :-)

Jan has jumped the gun slightly. You will have a problem if you are using 1.1.1. Shell commands in OS X are not supported before 1.5A7. You should be OK on this soon.

 Hello, everyone

 I've been reading about a command-line program that
 Apple included
 with OS X called "ditto." It has all the
 capabilities needed for a
 nice backup program. Revolution, on the other hand,
 has all the GUI
 needed to make a nice front end for it. Is there
 some way to send a
 command from Revolution to a command-line program
 like ditto?

Hi Gareth,

Check out the 'shell' function in the Transcript
dictionary. This allows you to send command line
instructions. Example:
get shell("ls -l -a")
Should get you a directory listing, much like the
"list" view in the Finder, even listing the hidden
files (starting with a period).

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
