Q: 

AIR2 accessing native processes

I am interested in playing around with the new nativeProcess which has been added to AIR2.0. I came across the google command line utility which allows you to do operations on google apps from the command line eg:

$ google picasa create --title "My album" ~/Photos/vacation/*.jpg

http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/06/introducing-google-command-line-tool.html

Would it be possible to execute commands on this utility using nativeProcess? I understand that you need to access STDIN and STDOUT but I have heard of some people running batch scripts etc.

Just trying to see what is possible, any pointers appreciated as it will give me something to play around with on downtime.
