Thank you all for your help, but there must be something wrong with my system(s)...and I have no idea what, or how to troubleshoot.

I tried this script (from Martin) on three computers (a G4 450 DP, OS X 10.3.2, a TiBook 667, OS X 10.3.2, and a G3 300, OS X 10.2.8). On all 3, Terminal activated, but no new window was created, and the find command did not run. I even tried saving the script as an application and running it outside of Script Editor.

tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script "find . -name '*.scpt' -print"
end tell


In my original script, the

do script "echo \"123\""

was strictly to make a new window. I had already tried do script "" with no results. In the mailing list archives, someone suggest using a "nothing" command that produces output to get a new window. Again, no luck.

I tried all of the scripts suggested so far on my 450...none worked.

I'm running Terminal 1.4.1 (v100)
Script Editor 2.0 (v43)
Applescript 1.9.3

I'd really appreciate any ideas on things to try. This seems trivial, yet it's taking way too much time...

Thanks,

Kris Jensen
