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

Hi Bob,
This is a guess as I've not got Rev on Linux, but I do use Unix/GNU
Linux in general. When specifying spaces on the command line, they need
to be escaped.
For example: ls folder with spaces/
becomes: ls folder\ with\ spaces/
So the same might be true for Rev: put "/home/bob/Desktop/folder\ with\
spaces/yourprog" into myVar
Hope this helps
