Why not use "do shell script"? Separate the commands with a semi colon.

Because I don't have them all up front. The script idles in the background and sends a command upon a trigger.
Something like this:
on run
tell application terminal
activate
end run
on idle
if BOOL then
--send a command to an open terminal window
end if
return 10
end idle

I don't have the original message, so I don't know whether you tried this (from Terminal's dictionary):


do script: Run a UNIX shell script or command
do script plain text -- data to be passed to the Terminal application as the command line
[in reference] -- the window in which to execute the command
