there is a nice scripting addition here: http:www.vampiresoft.com/Products/MacOS/aeshell.html

I am trying to run a script that returns some information from the terminal. The dialog only displays part of the information. I can past all the info to the script and it displays directly. Is there a limit to what a paticular variable can hold. If you have the scripting addition here is the script that only returns part of the value.

set dialogtext to AEShell ("/usr/bin/hostinfo")
display dialog dialogtext
