Well as you've stated you are mainly interested in OSX you might look up the MacOS and OSX only 'send to program' command in the Rev Dictionary. If you'd like a demo of how it works, go to Rev Online, User Spaces 'lankc' and download: Standalone to Standalone Comms pt1 Standalone to Standalone Comms pt2 These were originally put together as a demo of how to mock multi-thread Rev apps by splitting a single app into multiple processor intensive smaller standalone apps and then calling each one via a Master app. If your requirement is only to talk between apps occasionally, ie less than once every couple of seconds, then it works. If your requirement is constant communication between the apps then you'll find the speed way too slow.
