How to transfer a UNIX executable through Rev

[Richard Miller]

Thierry,

Could be. I'm not familiar with this.

I'm trying this:

get shell ("chmod + x MyExecutableFileName")

When I run this in the msg box, it returns "1". But I see no change to 
the app. It still looks like a text document... not a Unix Executable File.
