Because it offends my fastidious sense of elegance?
Well, OK. But just wait until you have to deal with literal strings and the
escape characters you need combined for so shell script within Macscript
with do Visual Basic. Elegant is not the word I would choose! Even just
Macscript within do Visual Basic has led me to 5 double-quotes in a row,
Sticking all that into yet another string script for do shell script would
be beyond me.
