Thanks for the ideas.
Wrapping all the shell scripts command and making sure the utf is
converted properly looks like a lot work to trouble shoot as I do not
normally do that.
The SuperCard idea is good, but I really don't use HC for any graphics
or multimedia stuff. It acts as a gui really for the scripts. I have
text fields to put in config info, and radio button's and drop down to
help other configurations. I have code in buttons and radio buttons to
perform their function. Most of that code makes calls to the AS
functions I have.
Since I already have my script libraries as AS scripts, then I think it
is time to bit the bullet and try AS Studio to put a face on these
scripts.
I may then be able to add in some perl code libraries that I have as
well.
