What made

when Terminal is not the frontmost application.
So the problem is how to have the "do script" command of Terminal
send the
Control-T sequence (which is ASCII character 20) without also issuing
a line
feed.
About the only thing I can think of: if the last line of the contents
of the window matches the prompt string, don't send the "do script"
command. It's a slovenly hack, but it might be serviceable.
That's not right. Should be: If the last line of the contents of the
window matches the prompt string then send the "do script" command
(otherwise something has been typed.)
