Dale,

Is that something I could write into a shell script? I don't want to  
stop using these shell scripts, since they work so well.

I'm in communication with the guy who wrote the shell script; he's in  
New Zealand, so last night we connected via iChat between our two  
MacBook Pros. It was an amazing conversation; at one time, we had all  
of this going on at the same time:

Video iChat so we could see each other
Audio iChat with headsets
Sending files back and forth thru iChat
He was Timbuktued into my FM server here, as was I
He looked up my address in Google Map so he could see what my house  
looked like, and I looked up his house in NZ so I could see his as well!

It was truly a 21st century experience; all of this was going on at  
once, and it worked almost flawlessly. A true testament to iChat, I  
must say!
