I figured out how to pipe SC varables to the shell function thing in OS X. using the Supercard to Perl tutorial posted by Ian Bridges to the list file area.I've added a couple of scripts to the shell section of script lib using this.
Basically you do something like this, where x is your var:
put "echo "&"'"&X&"'"&" | whateverShellfunction you want" into tcom
return shell(tcom)
you seem to need single quotes round the var.
The shell stuff is a bit scary for a scripter like me, but looks like a goldmine.

A shot but interesting thread on the superCard list Bob Nagele found clicking on bitmaps, that the target returned by a card script is the card. Mark Lucas explained, it was for hypercard compatibility, HC's bitmaps not being objects. A workaround is to have something, even one character, in the script of the bitmap.+ 0 - 0 | § ¶ScriptLib project

+ 0 - 0 | § ¶myIP
I used to use a XCFN by chilton, to get this, looking for a replacement I checked Internet Connect's appleScript Dictionary.function myIP
put empty into tAppleScript
put "tell application " & quote & "Internet Connect" & quote & return after tAppleScript
put "set y to log of application " & quote & "Internet Connect" & quote & return after tAppleScript
put "end tell" & return after tAppleScript
put replace(Script(do, Applescript, tAppleScript),linefeed,CR) into tInfo
put 0 into sLine
repeat
get lineOffset("local IP address",tInfo,SLine)
if it is 0 then exit repeat
add it to Sline
put last word of line sLine of tInfo into tR
end repeat
get lineOffset("Connection terminated",tinfo,Sline)
if it is not 0 then return "Not connected"
return tr
end myIp
The log has lots more information, most of which I don't understand. I guess the script could be improved a lot.
