Dude, use your script editor and record this. Select a file, command I, and type text into the file comments.
Now, stop record. This is a way that I pass data from script to script or hold a variable before executing a script.
You can quickly read and write comments without using text files. If its not allot of data, its a quick solution and I've used it extensively, works fine. Use "path to me" set comments and read from the next script.
I've also used it to display status of a script processing, get path of script itself, get info, pop text comments in there as script runs, displaying results or status. Cool. HTH
