Exiting from an Applescript

This just has to be one of those well DUH questions with an obvious answer, but I'm sure not seeing it, and I'm tired of been beating my head against the wall.

I have a simple one-line applescript, saved as an application, that launches a shell script. I want to put that applescript in my list of start-up things in the Accounts Prefs pane.

I've done that, and it works just fine - EXCEPT that after running the shell script, it doesn't quit or exit. It just hangs there. In fact it will hang there forever or until I drop into the terminal and use the kill command on it.

What do I need to do to make it exit/quit after it has done its thing?

			Thanks,
			Bill
