I remember when the good people at xerox parc built this great graphical front end so that memorizing a thousand command line utterances would become a thing of the past.
So, given the dozen or so languages and protocols i am forced to know (applescript, appleevents, xtalk, unix commands, xml, html, dhtml, perl, c, c++, c#, java, javascript, etc...) and the fact that the solution being sugested demands that i enter a root user mode that apple itself spends considerable amount of energy dis-recomending, i wonder what has become of "computing for the rest of us?" But i do thank you for the info and advice. I am looking for a solution generalizable to "everyone"... Otherwise it will ultimately fail for me. Can you imagine telling your users to start a root account? randall -----Original Message----- From: "Mark Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "How to use Revolution" <[email protected]> Sent: 1/9/2008 6:15 PM Subject: Re: tapping into finder events Randall, 'open process' is a way of opening other apps and being able to communicate with them. For example (this works on OS X with Rev 2.9, but won't with earlier versions of Rev), to run an interactive session in the bash shell: on mouseUp put "/bin/bash" into tProc open process tProc for binary update write "echo $USER" & cr to process tProc wait 10 millisecs read from process tProc until empty put it close process tProc end mouseUp you should now see your username in the message box.
