[OT] invisible files on Windows

[Chipp Walters]

Richard,


This will make a file invisible from Windows...

if the platform is "Win32" then
   put the filename of the topstack into tfile
   replace "/" with "\" in tfile
   put "attrib"&& quote & tfile & quote && "-h" into DosCommand
   set the hideConsoleWindows to true
   put shell (DosCommand) into theError
end if
