Get OS 10.1. The terminal is scriptable
Except that it has only one useful verb
do script with command <string>
(g_d knows why they felt the need to add "with command" to the perfectly
adequate "do script". It is totally incorrect as it implies that the command
is a second paramater (which it is not) which could have the option
"without" (which It cannot).
Just to make it completely useless, "do script" forces a new terminal
window. Chalk one up to the learning curve I guess.
Like most post-2000 Apple software, the author's name is not attached to her
work. I think that is a regressive move, though as a tonic for the pre-1999
Apple climate of everyone-engineer-owns-the-company it might have made
sense.
