"do shell script" always uses /bin/sh to interpret your command.

"do shell script" is not a Terminal.app command. It will use bash
and create a new process for it.
"do script" is what you want if you need Terminal.app to do the work
for you.
I think "out" has to be a POSIX path of
"PowerbookG4:Users:myuser:Documents:msg:test.txt" or else simply
delimited with UNIX style "/" separators.
You may need a full path for gpgwrap. "do shell script" will not
honor any changes to $PATH you might make in a .*rc script.
Watch out for spaces in file names and tool options. "quoted form
of" is good prophylaxis. "/Users/myuser/pw.txt gpg" in the above
bothers me a bit.
