Well I agree, really, but what you're after is really getting at the
guts of the OS - so it would be up to developers to make it available
to users in a way that they can deal with. One of the things that is
cool about Revoluton is that nearly everything is at a nice high
level, but if necessary, one can get a bit low level when necessary,
within reason.
Best,

I remember when the good people at xerox parc built this great

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, '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.
Hope this helps,
Mark
