You can run the script inside Terminal with 'tell application "Terminal" to do script "...."', instead of 'do shell script', and then the script can interact with the user as needed.
Or if the script just expects certain things on its input but doesn't need a terminal, you can prompt for them with 'display dialog' and then use "echo" or <<< as part of the shell command to feed the input to it.

I have a shell script that I know I can call from Applescript and I have successfully done that.
What the problem is, the shell script requires user input and I'm not sure how to call it, so that the user can enter in the information they need to in order for the script to be executed completely.
Is this possible?
Thank you!
