It appears your PATH doesn't include the directory for my-shell-script. If you changed: open [list | my-shell-script] to open [list | /full/path/to/my-shell-script] does it work? If you display your path (echo $PATH) in my-shell-script, and run it both ways, does it have different values? Brett ---------------------------------------------------------------- Brett C.
