Mark,
Bingo! I have it working now and it is a bit convoluted. The aliasReference
command in conjunction with knowing the actual path to the Start Menu makes it
work.
Here is the final code for Windows.
set the hideConsoleWindows to true —so we don’t get the cmd window
flashing
put the aliasReference of "C:/Documents and Settings/All
Users/Start Menu/Programs/Zultys MX/MXIE.lnk" into tLInk —actual path to .lnk
file
put tLink && "mxie cmd=show;call=" & vNumber into vLink —combine
the dial command with the phone number to dial
get shell(quote & vLink & quote) —execute the shell command
Whew!
Thanks everyone.
