Hi Dan
It's funny to see MacOS - no-to-CLIs - crowd do it in Unix and not in DOS ;0
what you need is something like
c:\notepad <pathtomyfile>
or notepad.exe <path to myfile"
or <pathtoapp> <path to file> should work...
BUT this will block Rev... :(
so shell("start" && quote && appspath && docpath && quote should work...)
cheers
Xavier
