I think previous posts in this thread have satisfied the spirit of
Andrew Oliver's challenge, if not the letter. More generally I wanted
to speak to the intimations in this thread that do script in the
Terminal is useless and should not be used in favor of do shell script.
Its extremely useful if you want to hand a process off the the users,
or show some form of progress on a unix command that can't be directly
AppleScripted, such as SCP of a large file.
