Does your Unix process keep the file open? Or does it close it
after it writes to it?

It keeps the file open - it is a redirect (incl stderr) after a
pipe. I just talked to a Unix guru who sais that this is a
relatively common problem caused by the fact that Unix usually
buffers everything before it is actually written to file. That means
I am stuck!
Is it really *impossible* to get those progress reports from curl
and similar programs into AppleScript Studio so I can show them in
the GUI (without waiting for the whole thing to terminate)?
Do you know if the piping occurs in real time? If so, you could pipe
to AppleScript...
