Since no QT gurus have stepped forward :-), I found another way to 
accomplish what I wanted to do. What I was **really** trying to do 
was get Revolution to upload a sound file to the server.

  libURLftpUploadfile globalvariable, \
       "ftp://username:password@myftpserver.edu/" & globalvariable & ".wav"

The above script works just fine, and it can be played in QuickTime 
or whatever.

Of course, those who know me will realize that it was really my 
husband who figured this out. :-)

Regards, Claire
