shell command problem

Can someone guide me in the correct use of the shell command on OSX.

I have an app called "iRed" which comes with a command lineapplication that I copied to the bin folder on my machine and from aterminal window I can execute the following "ired -send "RobosapienV2" "D" which works great. iRed is a program that can send IR codesvia a USB device called "irTrans" to my Robosapien V2 robot.


Everything works fine from within iRed controlling the robot.
Everything works fine from the terminal window.
Everything also works fine using an applescript:
try
        tell application "iRed" to send ir Code "D" of RC "Robosapien V2"
on error
        beep
end try

& Everything also works storing the applescript in a custom prop inREV and then DOing the applescript.

The only thing I can't seem to figure out is how to run a commandline directly from within REV. The docs say if I am having trouble totry the command line directly in a terminal window and it does indeedwork fine.

I have tried to set the shellcommand to "/bin/ired" with no result.

This is my script:
ON mouseUp
    put field "myControl2" into tControl
    IF tControl is not "" THEN
        put the shellcommand into tShellPath
        set the shellcommand to "/bin/ired"
        shell (field "myControl2")

-- put quote & "ired - send " & quote & "Robosapien V2" &quote & " " & Quote & "D" & Quote into tred

        -- shell (tred)
        set the shellcommand to tShellPath
    ELSE
        revspeak "OH OH"
    END IF
END mouseUp


This is the error I keep getting:
