Either file not found or directory not found.

>>What directory do they change to to fix it?

He says he uses cld for change local directory... What's the difference
between that and cd?

>>I assume the file to be uploaded is an absolute path?
  set myFile to quoted form of POSIX path of myFile

This command coerces an alias to a file on the local drive to a posix path.
Does that make it absolute?

  I think that's exactly what I'm looking for... And I'll need to toy with
it to figure out where it all goes together...

Something like this.... ?  Or maybe the /usr/bin go before the cd?

Thanks!
