Hi S. J.,
Nope. This won't work:
tell application "Shell"
version
end
--> dialog box: Where is Shell?
The shell is a framework that provides a command line interface (CLI) for users to pass commands to the OS. For AppleScript use, it is accessed with the 'do shell script' command from the scripting addition StandardAdditions.osax.
