Best,

Mark,

I put your script in a mouseUp button and tried it
but all it did was show the message box without
any info in it.

I am using OS X 10.4.10 and Rev 2.9 Enterprise.

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

What does "open process[ing]" something  do? How do you do it?
