Will, I think some clarification of what exactly you want to do is needed.... but. If I'm understanding you correctly, yes and no. I'm assuming by operate, you mean deleting or changing names. I'm also assuming all the files are on the clients machine that you want to edit, and you just like the script that you made on WebDNA and would like to give the customer the ability to utilize such a script... right? Am I close? :-) I would cosider a universal language... such as JAVA (not javascript)... but that is a suggestion based off of not really understanding what you want to do and what your situation is exactly.
