I've been trying to get into the habit of using CVS, so I have created a few TM command scripts that performs the basic CVS shell commands. HOW do I convert the text returned from a Finder display dialog script into a shell variable ???? sort of like this: osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" display dialog \"mxCVS::Commit Message\" default answer theDefaultAnswer buttons {\"Cancel\", \"OK\"} default button 2 set the theMessage to the text returned of the result end tell" $CVSmsg = output from the above AS script I'm having a bug problem with the Applescript execution of "do shell script", as AS can't somehow access $CVSROOT from .bash_profile or even from /etc/profile which really pisses me off. Every other aspect of CVS works OK, but not through AS.
