Message-ID: thanks very much. I managed to adapt the Clock example plugin so it starts an Erlang VM in the background and I am working on a simple C program to serve as command line utility within scripts to bridge to the background Erlang VM. But one stupid litte thing I didn't manage to figure out when I tried to create my own plugin project with xcode.

The clock example plug-in shows how to add an item to the Window menu and open a window from a nib when it?s clicked ? that?s generally what people do for their plug- ins.

I believe there's no open source plugin but you can look at my Rdaemon. Look at Rdaemon/daemon/Rdaemon.rb. Here you can see how I did spawn R in a pseudo terminal. In principal you can use it as template for Erlang if the Erlang interpreter returns always anything (a newline, a prompt etc.). If you have further question mail me privately. --Hans
