Adrian,
Have you tried something like this?
Tell application "Terminal"
activate
do shell script "something that takes forever"
tell application "anything"
activate
do "do something else while shell script runs"

Hello.
Is it possible to start a process from a "do shell script" command
without having to wait for it to finish?
i.e.
do shell script "something that takes forever"
-- do other stuff while something is working
Thanks,
Adrian
