Hey Paul or other more intelligent than me folks:
I can get this command to work in the terminal
curl -O http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Opinion.xml
but when I put in an AS it doesn't work:
do shell script "curl -O http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Opinion.xml";
Is my syntax wrong?
