Hi,
The 'do script' command opens a new shell window. From Terminal's Applescript
dictionary:
do script v : Runs a UNIX shell script or command.
This script opens a new window always.
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script
end tell
The previous window when the applications opens will be stored from the
previous session that Terminal.app was opened. If you don't want to see it,
you could check to see if the Terminal.app is running and if it is not close
all windows once you activate it In the NSAppleScript command.
Best wishes
John Maisey
