Doug:
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, using this 'do shell script'
approach also works inconsistently when placed in my script. After some
testing, I seem to have discovered a pattern: A new shell with the .term
file settings opens only if there have been no previous commands sent to the
Terminal application.
For example, if there are no preceding script commands to Terminal, all
three of the following commands open a shell using the settings from a
Terminal setting file:
tell application "Terminal" to open file "path:to:term:file"
tell application "Finder" to open file "path:to:term:file"
do shell script "open -a Terminal '/path/to/term/file'"
However, if any of these commands is preceded in a script by a command such
as the following:
tell application "Terminal" to get count of windows
then no new shell is opened and there is no error message.
This type of problem never occurred during the time I used scripts with this
sequence in versions of the OS before 10.3.
Any ideas for a solution?
