I've never tried the open.read from/write process commands - would those be
another way to do this?
Yes. See 'open process for neither' in the docs - it accomplishes the same thing
as 'launch'.
Back in the days when I worked on HP3000 computers, they had something
called message files. They were basically files that any number of
processes could write to and one process could read from and as a record
was read, it was deleted from the file. It was a great and very easy way
to implement client/server communications.

Hi Cal,
You can start up a standalone from the commandline with
C:/path/to/standalone.exe param1 param2,...
~/applications/standalone.app param1 param2...
In your standalone you can retrieve the values in $1, $2,... anywhere in
your scripts:
put $1 into fld 1
get item 2 of $2
If your standalone is already running, you can use sockets to communicate.
Here's http://qery.us/1a2 an example of using sockets for telnet
communication. Once you understand how sockets work, you can use them for
inter-application communication.
On Mac OS X, you can also use AppleScript:
set myScript to "answer \"hi\""
tell application "Revolution" to do script myScript
Of course, the script limits apply, but if you only want to set the value
of a variable, this should be sufficient.
