On returning to my G4 from this 8500 (which I still prefer for mail) I can confirm your recent findings. Terminal also fails when simply double clicking a *.term in Finder or File_open from within Terminal. I think I can place the starting point of the problem somewhere around 10.3.4 which is about when I stopped using *.term files in favor of another technique. I'm back to 10.3.9 from 10.4 because Tiger refuses to talk to my SE/30 server.

I wrote these to provide progress information from the likes of curl. There might be some ideas there mixed in with a batch of work-arounds for other Terminal problems..

Did you know that .term files are in XML - plist format? I can't find the text of previously issued commands in them.

I was also surprised to find that *.term files, when they work, do preserve environment variables set in a previous execution. That could be quite useful.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
