"do shell script" problem solved

I had a problem using
do shell script "unix command goes here"

with a Unix command that attempted to obtain information about
standard input and didn't exit.

I have discovered that I can accomplish the same thing with:

tell application "Terminal"
do script "unix command goes here"
end tell

The main difference is that going through Terminal actually works.
