There is a run mode that does allow for interaction, but BBEdit does not use it, nor have I ever tested it. I am not interested in doing a full blown console inside of BBEdit at this time. If you want to use stdin, you'll have to turn on "Bring MacPerl to Front" or rewrite your script to use the mac ask subroutines. -- Jim Correia Bare Bones Software, Inc. correia@barebones.com <http://web.barebones.com> # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
