Burning a disc of files from within Rev

[Thomas J McGrath III]

But Rev can do this!!!

It is just you that can't do it!

And it seems, with a bit of attitude, that you expect someone else to 
do it for you when you say "Provide the applescript along with the 
example stack." - with not even a please or thanks or anything. Name 
any other programming application that provides what you are asking 
for?

Maybe I missed something here BUT I am a bit thrown off by the tone of 
your email and the attitude you express.


That is my 2cents......
