At the risk of appearing even more ignorant than I am, I'm apparently just thick-headed enough that I still don't understand the key aspect I'm hoping to find:
The options for displaying progress in the terminal work well, but how can we call that from LiveCode to obtain that progress info periodically while the command is executing from the "shell" function?
Is there a way to use "open process" for that? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
