However, your comment led me to think of an alternative: Before sending a
Control-T key sequence I could send a Control-U, which erases text on the
current command line. Thus, the command could be:
tell application "Terminal"
do script ((ASCII character 21) & (ASCII character 20)) in window 1
end tell
This sequence still generates the unwanted line feed but it avoids the
problems of inadvertently sending text left on the command line.
If you're "talking" to a VMS box you should consider using Control-X
(24) which will clear the entire type-ahead buffer...that way there
are *no* characters at all to worry about...
This bit will turn the current line into a comment which will allow
you to recall the command line...
tell application "Terminal"
do script ((ASCII character (8)) & "!" & (ASCII character
20)) in window 1
end tell
8)
