If I do this on Win98 it works:
get pathToMyFile() -- returns "C:/My Documents/myfile.txt"
open file it
write "1234" to file it
close file it
But if I do this, I get "can't open file":
get pathToMyFile()
put "1234" into url ("file://"&it)
Why?

I don't think you are supposed to have the "//" after "file:" are you?
Urk. Thanks. It was a brain fart I guess, but the funny thing is that it 
has been in my script for a couple of weeks and works okay on Mac OS X 
(which is why I didn't catch it, I suppose.)

So now that I have that working, I want to make the file invisible.  Any 
ideas why this standard snippet is failing:

    replace "/" with "\" in tPath -- this contains what "it" had before
    put "attrib"&& quote & tPath & quote && "-h" into tCommand
    set the hideConsoleWindows to true
    put shell (tCommand) into theError
I get no error, but the file remains visible. The command doesn't work 
from the DOS prompt either.
