Pete,
The terminal and the shell command are different beasts. On your mac, you
can check some hidden files:
.profile
.bash_profile
.bashrc
For example, my .profile changes my locale $LANG var.
I think that .profile always load but .bash_profile and .bashrc only loads
then you launch a terminal, but I am guessing. Its been a while since I last
played this kind of game.
Anyway, the shell() executes stuff in "Mac OS X" graphical land, the
terminal is different. For example, IIRC applescript is not available when
the old engine was running on the terminal but was available if you shell().
Its the little things...
To expand (in a speculative manner!) on Andre's response, it seems
probable that you are running into the difference between the System
defaults and your User defaults. This is a little bit of a quagmire, but
something that has been discussed here more than once in the past.
Good Luck!
Warren
