Subject: Re: Using ruby in applescript studio

Okay, I've run into a problem.  I've added the .rb file to the project
in XCode and referenced it in the applescript file with this line:

	set theArticleText to (do shell script (quoted form of POSIX path of
(path to resource "getArticle.rb")) & " \"" & theArticleName & "\" \""
& wikiLanguage & "\" \"" & wikiProject & "\"" with administrator
privileges)

But whenever I run the program, it throws an error -- "Permission
denied" -- even after I enter my password.
