1. On OSX, if I ask Finder to open a text file with another app, and

Windows 1$ does contain the path and file name.
Q: Am I doing something wrong? Better yet, is there something
special I need to do in order to get my .app to accept command line
parameters?
You're not doing anything wrong - the $1 parameters are a Windows-only
thing; for Macintosh you get Apple Events whenever a document is
opened by
an app. Put this in your standalone's stack script:
on appleEvent pClass,pID
switch (pClass&pID)
case "aevtodoc"
request appleEvent data
-- "it" now contains the path to the document so you can
-- do something like:
open stack it
break
pass appleEvent
end appleEvent
Many thanks :-)
2. In Windows, the command line param is showing up, but it's
coughing up the old 8.3 file naming.
Q: Is this a issue with Windows and how command line data is sent,
such as if it's in quotes, rock on, but if not, it's rock pounding in
the stone age?
Good question - did you try putting quotes around the path to the
document
file? If not, then it sounds like an OS thing. But you should be
able to use
the longFilePath() function to get the long file name if you're
only getting
8.3 naming.

No, I droped a text file on my exe. Haven't tried command line yet.
Thank you Ken,
