Aloha, Alex:
Nalla Cintanai (Tamil for "good thoughts" also the name of a famous book
in our tradition)
Hmmm, I will have to test that "wait" for shell completion. I'm not
seeing that behavior at the moment, it sure seems like the next line
runs immediately.
I'll throw in an a put statement dialog immediately and watch.
I think libURL uses the HTTP protocol. I'm thinking AFP will be faster
and "better"
Yes, Filesize, Oh, right... checksum is the wrong thing. I meant to
parse the detailed files and use that.

First thought : I thought (according to Dictionary) that "shell" would
wait until the command was complete before returning - dictionary says
The current handler pauses until the shell returns its result. If the
command was successful but did not return anything, the shell
function returns empty.
Second try : why take a checksum, why not just use the file size ?
Getting the checksum may involve copying the file from the remote
server into your laptop to calculate the checksum.
Third try : instead of doing "shell 'cp file ....' " could you do
load url ("file:" & tRemotepathname)
.... check the cachedURLs ....
put url("file:" & tRemotepathname) into url('file:" & tLocalfilename)

I'm using lots of these:

get shell (tShell)
to more files around
Is there a way to monitor a background shell process like this?
The problem is if you copy from the Big Server on the LAN... to my
Little MacBook Pro... you won't know when the file is completely
copied to the local hard drive before doing:
launch (gLocalProjectPath &"/" & pFileName) with the
uInDesignPath of this stack
Typically RunRev will issue the unix cp command and then immediately
launch inDesign, which "crokes" because the file is incomplete on the
local hard drive.
