Thanks Charles, I had forgotten that do shell script is a part of the
Standard Addition osax. Now I know how to run a script that needs the
user's permission without having to use some GUI scripts to get the
admin/password dialog.

OK, I got it:

If you look in the Applescript dictionary, it appears the function syntax is:

> set theResult to do shell script unicode text ¬
>  as type class ¬
>  administrator privileges boolean ¬
>  user name unicode text ¬
>  password unicode text ¬
>  altering line endings boolean

I don't have the "with" solved, but it goes something like this:

>> import osax

>> sa = osax.OSAX()
>> 
>> print sa.do_shell_script("ls -l")

How to translate this applescript into appscript?:
