The good news is that I already have my bundles set up to be somewhat modular/class-driven.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=391513700-27102009><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=391513700-27102009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realize that doing this creates dependencies between bundles, but I'm OK with this, and feel it's better than recreating my FTP commands in another bundle.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=391513700-27102009><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=391513700-27102009><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thought I had would be to get the TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT value, pop off the bundle name and replace it with the bundle name of the target, and get to the Ruby file I need.
