I know it's a little off-topic, but every time I see a request like this I am reminded of how many feature requests would be unnecessary if RunRev supported a way to call the native OS toolboxes.
[snip]
Quite a few, in my estimation. I have suggested several times that support for a compiler symbol table to type variables, define & populate record structures, and identify OS calling syntax would allow savvy developers to do for themselves what they might otherwise need to request from RunRev
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this can be done via externals...
Externals are, well, EXTERNAL solutions requiring a second compiler and learning a different language syntax. In my opinion, a native Transcript solution would be MUCH preferable to reliance on externals.
