Dear Rev-carders,
It's been bugging me for quite some time that the Rev/MetaCard
community lacks central resources. As fantastic as the discussion lists
are (and they are good ones), there's no one way to find an answer,
obtain an external, submit something you wrote, etc, etc. A few list

but is the "file:///" actually necessary?
I understood that works fine on both flavours.
Not sure whether "/" has to be replaced by ":" as the delimiter, however.
Anyone care to confirm these points for MacOS and MacOSX? I have a vested int

Perhaps you would forward the poll? The results are not for my
benefit anyway. I just thought the Rev/MC folks might be interested.

I am very sure that the results will be quite different. My feeling
is that dynamic scripting is not something that beginners and
hobbysts use much. MC was strongly geared to "profess

To pass file paths to "cp", you'll need to escape spaces in the file
path or put the path in quotes:
replace space with ("\"&space) in filePath
or
put quote&filePath"e into filePath

Still works... I did miss the "local" though and skipped my eyes to the
"browser".
In any case, try this form:
tell application "Finder"
open location "file:///Users/yennie/Desktop/test.html"
end tell
The trick seems to be adding the browser-style protocol to the front
