[Macpartners] scripting

[Albert Willis]

It's pretty straightforward to use Applescript send commands to the 
Terminal. See Apple's document at 
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html.

Look at the sample scripts in /Applications/Applescript to get a feel 
for what Applescript look like. You can also check out 
http://www.apple.com/applescript/ for help and resources.
