Thanks!
This is just what I'm looking for, except one thing - - - since this is for a commercial application, I can't use the beta of Rev 2. If I can just get this working in Applescript, then I can get this working in Rev 1.1.1 with the Applescript PowerAdd-ons OSAX to make calls to the unix shell.
The problem I'm having is that if I do:
Shell "open /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu"
in Applescript, it gives me this error:
No such file: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu
This makes me think that AppleScript doesn't like the space after the word "Menu". AppleScript also doesn't like when I put quotes in the shell command like this:
Shell (open "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu")
it then says "can't open file due to AppleEvent error".
So unfortunately, this is turning more into an AppleScript problem as opposed to a Revolution problem, but either way, I'm still somewhat stuck. Any advice is appreciated.

You can do it this way with Rev 2:
�
on mouseUp
� set the hideConsoleWindows to true
� get shell("open " & quote & "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu" & quote)
end mouseUp
�
Works for me in 10.2.4,

Subject: Way to put PPPoE status in menubar?
I'm trying to figure out how to get Revolution to put the PPPoE status in the menubar in Mac OS X.� (Basically mimicing what happens if the user were to check the "show PPP status in menubar" checkbox in the networking pane).
After digging around in the web for a bit, I read that this will do the trick in the terminal window:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu
However, when I go into the "Library" folder, I don't see this CoreServices directory.� I'm assuming if I can get this working in terminal, then there's a way to get AppleScript to make a call to the terminal from Revolution to execute the command.� Anyone have an idea of what this syntax might look like?
