Thank you so much for everything.
I do have other options, including a scriptable terminal emulator from
DataBeast (www.databeast.com I think), maybe I can figure out something
from that.
Worst case senario is I contact our FACTS support people and have them
do a mod to the system. :-(
Thanks once again, it's nice to know I'm not as lost as I think I am.
:-)
Is there somewhere where I should put in a feature request to Apple
about this? I know they are rather receptive about these sort of
things; they supplied us with a command to allow the function keys to
pass through to FACTS (at least I think that's what this does, our
network administrator got it from someone at Apple and I just use it:) :
defaults write com.apple.Terminal MacTermFunctionKeys YES

What it looks like you really want to do (and I want to do it to, now)
is
send TEXT to an open terminal window. Your window happens to be one
that
has a telnet program running in it, but therre are other uses for this
sort of thing.
A simple to understand frame for this is that I want to be able to
have a
terminal window with PICO running in it, and I want my apple script to
send a bit of text to this window when it is run. There are other ways
to
get text into a file, I know, but this is just an example.
For your specific needs, you might have more luck tracking down and
supporting a scriptable telnet application on OS X. I don't think there
are any yet, but some are being worked on.
Good luck....
