Probably a simple question but I am rather new to applescript. Here is bit
of the script that I am having trouble with:
-snip-
Tell application ³Terminal²
do script "mkdir /Volumes/temp/ & mount_afp -i afp:/at/resfs01/RESEARCH/
/Volumes/temp"
    tell application "Finder"
        display dialog "Choose your local home folder" buttons {"Ok"}
-snip-
 
The problem is that I need the script to wait until the user puts in a
username and password for the mount_afp command in the terminal window
before continuing on with the rest of the script. I am pretty sure this is
doable but for the life of me I cant find how to do it.
