Interesting — Thanks, Jens. Looks like that might work nicely for most of my needs. Do you happen to know if there are any bandwidth concerns? Eventually, I will be interested in streaming numbers to the main Plot app for real-time display. I suspect I could simply divide the stream into hunks, and use a series of AppleEvents to send them. Do you foresee any issues with that approach?
