First time using open process for me. Fascinating! Thanks Monte. Not quite sure on the write and read syntax.

My original shell command which works fine is:
   get shell(""&appPath&" "&srcPath&" "&trgPath&"")
where the app is a command line utility which converts a PDF file to multiple JPEG's

I can't get the app to show up in 'the openProcess' using the 'neither' option. When I call 'open process appPath for update' it works fine, but then how would I send the open process a command to start the conversion?

I'm sending a shell command which is taking a long time.  I'd like to send it 
in a way so scripts continue to run while the shell command runs in the 
background.  I believe this is called 'passive mode', not sure.  Anyway, any 
ideas?
