Hi ferite,

It seems that you cannot make new windows, but the Terminal application will create a new one if you do not specify a certain window for the «do script» command:


tell application "Terminal"
	do script "ls -a"
	set custom title of window 1 to "Yeah!"
	do script "ls -a"
	set custom title of window 1 to "Cool!"
end tell

This code works just fine on my machine.

Thank you works fine. But when Terminal.app starts one window was opened automatically.
Ant the other thing is Tabs - great feature in Leopard but not scriptable - I’m confused.
