| I've never attempted sending key presses with system events. I'lll have to try that. Still, it seems like a huge shortcoming of "do script" that it always appends a newline (or return in AppleScript parlance). If it didn't do that, I wouldn't need to play games with system events.

Is there a way to send data *without* a forced newline?
