shell command problem

[Thomas McGrath III]

Hi Thierry,

Yes thanks, it looks like I was forgetting that the shell evals to a  
string. I fixed this and now I am not getting the error anymore but  
the command is still not executing.

I am getting the intro text that pops up when the iRed command  
application runs, you know, (ired Version 2.0  usage: ired -send  
etc.) which tells me I am communicating with it but not getting any  
result.

Any ideas???

Thanks again,

Tom
