Hello Axel,
Thanks for the response.
As I dimly recall, the 2nd of your "do shell script" versions below was used in
the script in qquestion.
As I have been trying to recall other of the syntax, these bits came to mind:
tell application "System Events"
I saw that in an example script on the web and it rang a bell..
I think, perhaps in error, that was the first line.
Then there was perhaps something about 'set frontmost to true' also.'
The line 'tell application "Terminal' you have below was there also.
I haven't a clue about the exact syntax compisition nor in what order they
appeared before the 'do shell script'.
Does this make any sense to you,? Sorry for the poor recall.
Thanks.
