I now have an explanation as to why the shell in (Ubuntu) Linux seems to work sometimes, but not others: the HD path to the executable for launching MUST NOT CONTAIN BLANKS!

For example, this works like a charm:

  global myVar
  put "/home/bob/Desktop/folderwithnospaces/myprog" into myVar
  set the defaultFolder to "/home/bob/Desktop/folderwithnospaces"
  get shell(myVar)

This doesn't work at all:

  global myVar
  put "/home/bob/Desktop/folder with spaces/yourprog" into myVar
  set the defaultFolder to "/home/bob/Desktop/folder with spaces"
  get shell(myVar)

Exactly the same thing applies to the LAUNCH command.

Now what do I do?
Any ideas anyone?

Bob
