What I am trying to do is within a LC application

1. put field "mytest" into URL "binfile:~/race"

This creates a file called race in the ~/ directory.

The problem is that when you do a chmod +rw race the file is still
recognized as textedit file and NOT a UNIX executable.

When you look at a file created with LC and chmod verses a file created with textmate and chmod you can see the differences in the finder or get
info on both files and see the difference.

Try doing:

set the fileType to "????????"

or

set the fileType to empty

Before saving the file from LC.

The default setting is "ttxtTEXT". I believe, these days, that Mac first looks at the file extension and then falls back to the filetype. As the engine is explicitly setting the fileType of saved files (by default) to text, the OS will pick up any files without extensions as text files.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
