Ken,

Thanks a lot, this is good to know. Hopefully both the OSProcess
and AIO plugins will work for folks using the 4.2.5 VM.

By the way, I have not heard if the AioPlugin.bundle works or not,
so if anyone can give a success or failure report I'd appreciate it.
If CommandShell works without giving a warning about the missing
AioPlugin, then it's working :)

Thanks,
Dave
