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

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
-- Michelle
Thanks Michelle. However, the version of Terminal that I am using (10.1.5)
doesn't have that [in reference] parameter. I figured I'd probably run
around in circles on this one. Perhaps if a conventional way isn't going to
work, does anyone know of an osaxen that allows for global clipboard use or
something?
