read the docs again for
shellcommand:
Summary:
Specifies the name and location of the command used for the shell function.
Examples:
set the shellCommand to "/bin/sh/ksh"
it's the kind of shell, not the location of terminal.app
also since shell is a function, use 'put' or 'get' with it
longer or complex shell commands should be put into a field first, or
properly formatted for quotes, etc.
on mouseUp
put shell ("KillAll Finder")
end mouseUp

"check out shell() and shellcommand in the docs"
which I did, Thanks, but obviously I'm having a "thick patch" and
don't quite understand why the following didn't work:
on mouseUp
set the shellCommand to "/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app"
shell ("KillAll Finder")
end mouseUp
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
