	<<Find the script and call it with the parameter list. It works like XML-RPC and SOAP handlers. The root table is user.unix.scripts. Addresses are dereferenced. Any #security scripts found during the walk are run. All parameters are received as strings -- so your scripts need to take that into account. Also, the result from a command line call usually ends with "\n" (a line feed) -- your scripts will have to add those if appropriate.

This listing is for code that runs in the OPML Editor environment. I created these listings because I wanted the search engines to index it, so that when I want to look up something in my codebase I don't have to use the much slower search functionality in my object database. Dave Winer.
