Windows file visibility

[Marty Knapp]

I've been playing with a recipe from the Scripter's Scrapbook 
(setFileVisibility) but I can't seem to make it work on my XP machine. I 
poked around on Google but didn't find anything that really helped.

basically I'm doing this:
#creating a text file
#then attempt to make it invisible:

put "attrib +h" && thePathToMyFile into commandString
get shell commandString

But my file remains visible. Perhaps this works on older versions of 
Windows? My Windows skills are pretty basic, so I may be missing 
something simple.

Thanks for any help,
Marty Knapp
