can I run an applescript within another applescript based on text?

Is it possible to run an applescript within a script based on text entered by the user, For example say I have a script that runs in the background as a handler, I open the script and it would have a dialog box asking for a command by entering text. I have a script written that will launch iTunes, when the dialog box appears I want to be able to type in "launch iTunes" and run the iTunes script, how would I do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Porter
