script editor's environment.
Richmond, Peter, did either of you try this?
And there I was thinking RunRev just "worked straight out of the box";
obviously expecting too much.
The 'funny' thing is that on Linux:
1. RunRev has problems picking up fonts,
1.1 problems with Unicode fonts that make them effectively useless,
2. This copy-paste situation,
3. A few more 'situations' that have slipped my mind just now.
And precious few other, admittedly, Linux 'native, apps seem to have
the same sort of problem.
I think, tomorrow, when I have a spot of free time I am going to go
back and play around with Metacard 2.5 for Linux and see whether
those problems were there, or whether they have arisen
subsequently; if the latter then, for instance, it might be not a bad
thing to revert to the old script-editor.

Hilarious bit follows.
Yesterday, wanting to help Jacque with the folder listing problem
I popped together a 'quick-n-dirty' stack on my Linux box with the
script I quoted in my posting.
Being a bit lazy I had no great desire to type the script into my
e-mail client's "write" box; so to copy-paste it I had to:
1. Turn on my Mac,
2. Transfer the stack 'over the wire' to the Mac,
3. Open the stack with RunRev on the Mac,
4. Copy-paste the script into TextWrangler,
5. Save the TextWrangler doc on the Mac,
6. Transfer the document back to the Linux box,
7. Open the document with gEdit,
8. Copy-paste the text into my e-mail client.
The whole procedure took me about twice the time it took me
to write the script in the first place . . . :)
