I have an AppleScript script (droplet) upon which a folder may be dropped. The script, among other things assigns paths such as: set myFolder to "7500HD:Desktop Folder:newtest_folder:" set myFilename to "blogs" But of course these paths are not assigned until the droplet is used. I then call a MacPerl subroutine using a 'Do Script' command. The MacPerl subroutine requires the path names above as arguments. Although it must be easy, I have tried any number of things, but I can't seem to correctly pass the AppleScript path names into the MacPerl subroutine under these circumstances. Could someone point the way? Paul -- Paul Schatz Chem Dept University of Virginia # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
