Fwd: Simple textmate applescripting question ([TxMt] TermMate bug)

[William Scott]

Hi Bill:

I was hoping for something similar when I wrote to the mailing list a  
couple of months ago.  If $TM_DIRECTORY could be made available to  
the outside world via applescript, morons like me could make use of  
this.

If he does let you hack on it, I'd be grateful for this functionality  
too.

Thanks.

Bill

PS:  What I have in mind is something similar to Gary Kerbaugh's  
Terimal/iTerm -- Finder interaction osa/shell scripts:  http://
