<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2">You'll have to refer to an AppleScript reference for that syntax, but generally you should be able to take a script which runs in Script Editor, paste it into a field in Metacard, and do this:<BR>
<BR>
do (fld "CopyAppleScript") as applescript<BR>
<BR>
If you want to merge in some values from the current script, do this:<BR>
<BR>
do merge(fld "CopyAppleScript") as applescript<BR>
<BR>
And inside your script, put a placeholder like this: [[ myPathName ]]<BR>
<BR>
I believe AppleScript paths want ":" delimiters, although there are also utilities for dealing with POSIX (i.e. Metacard) paths.<BR>
<BR>
If you need to convert, you should replace "/" with ":" and add the volume name to the front.<BR>
<BR>
Ex: "/Folder/MyFile.txt" becomes "Macintosh HD:Folder:MyFile.txt"<BR>
<BR>
For shell(), see the "mv" or "cpy" commands. You can get the syntax by launching the "Terminal" application and running "man cpy" or "man mv".<BR>
<BR>
You should be able to do something like this:<BR>
<BR>
get shell("cpy"&&oldPath&&newPath)<BR>
<BR>
You will need to use command line flags to copy directories/folders.<BR>
