By the way...a quick test shows that:
do shell script "sleep 5"
beep
...blocks until the shell command completes, whereas telling Terminal
do "do script" does not wait:
tell application "Terminal"
do script "sleep 5"
beep
end tell
(In this case, using "mount volume" does sound better.)
Cheers,

I have answered my own question... Simply used the mount volume
command in
applescript instead of a do shell script statement.

Probably a simple question but I am rather new to applescript.
Here is bit
of the script that I am having trouble with:
-snip-
Tell application “Terminal”
do script "mkdir /Volumes/temp/ & mount_afp -i afp:/at/resfs01/
RESEARCH/
/Volumes/temp"
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "Choose your local home folder" buttons {"Ok"}
-snip-
The problem is that I need the script to wait until the user puts
in a
username and password for the mount_afp command in the terminal
window
before continuing on with the rest of the script. I am pretty sure
this is
doable but for the life of me I cant find how to do it.
