you more or less can do this, if you think of quoting as a substitute for a
tall block. this would work:
do shell script "
ls -al
pwd
"
except the Mac line ends in the string aren't incompatible
with the shell. (did 1.8.2b3 change this?). so you can get
around it like this:
do shell script "#
\n ls -al #
\n pwd
"
which comments out the Mac line ends and adds unix line
ends. or make it more readable by dealing with the line ends
in a handler:
do_shell ("
ls -al
pwd
")
on do_shell (the_commands)
do shell script "echo " & the_commands & " | tr '
' '\\n' | sh -s"
end do_shell
