Hello all, I am using shell scripts inside applescript and I am wondering the syntax for presenting an input dialog to the user to acquire authentication for using sudo.

The "with administration privileges" option to "do shell script" will take care of calling sudo and collecting the password for you. The current implementation has some restrictions on what you can call with admin privileges; see Chris Espinosa's post.
