Hi Andrew,
Thanks so much for the help, I'm dying on the vine here.

myShellCode:
is the text of the shell script itself. I read it in (as text) to a property
of the applescript so that I don't have it laying around as a seperate
loose component. The shell script is huge and this part seems to
be working fine as it asks for the "test_file log_file" which are it's
arguments to look for when processing.

Well the test files names do not, but I'm sure it will be processing
file names that will have spaces in them. And, yes I am using the
full file's alias and trying to pass it as a posix path to the shell
script. . . . without success

Well I have not tried that, can you provide an example of how I
would do that. I am not familiar with that syntax at all. I
have no clue what the syntax would look like.
