I want to quit the Dock, but there is a automatic restart in it. Is it
possible to quit it by AppleScript?

No, it is not possible to run your OS without The Dock. You can however set
it to a size of 1 pixel.

Sure it is.
How? - I can't do it - I also killed the process manually and the dock comes back

You just lose a lot of window functionality,
This is what I want - for a exibition - a Terminal with only one App running. No change back to the Finder (no restart or shut down possible) Only the focus on the FileMaker Runtime.

Someone was asking a more direct form of this question just a few days ago on MACSCRPT. See <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2062.html>; the basic answer is that you have to call SetSystemUIMode, which is a C API. This isn't possible to do directly from AppleScript, but you could write a small scripting addition that did it -- see <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1164.html>.
