Actually, I was thinking a little bit more than that. And. . . I'll bet you're about to tell me that Smile will do it all. I'd like to drop the text and have the result be a compiled script in APPLet form that can itself accept dropped files for execution. It would be a bit like offering a shell script that needs only a command line with a file path but is intelligible to a typical MUG member and doesn't require that "unthinkable" Terminal APPL
You win. Smile will do it all. :-)
