Hey John,

Mark's method works fine, but I generally prefer to write such things like this for readability:

set shell_string to "cd '/Users/chris/Pictures/NOAA'
curl --remote-name http://www.goes-arch.noaa.gov/ECIR111790745.GIF"
do shell script shell_string

I also like to use the long option-name unless it's really inconvenient to do so - again for readability.  On the command-line I usually won't, but in scripts and handlers I usually will.

Best Regards,
Chris
