Re: [F-Script-talk] Odd solution (was Unable to use F-Script Anywhere)

[Nathan S. <nst...@ma...>]

Maybe the F-Script Anywhere application was installed as root.  Using  
get info in the finder (command-I) may shed some light on the  
problem.  You can also experiment with the unix 'open' command which  
is like double clicking on an app.

i.e. try:

open /Applications/Programming/FScriptBin/F-Script\ Anywhere.app
sudo open /Applications/Programming/FScriptBin/F-Script\ Anywhere.app

if neither of these work, something is wonky with the bundle.   If  
only the second one works, something is wonky with the permissions on  
the bundle.

hope that is helpful...
