Hi Sarah,
You are getting the "end tell" error because you don't need the first
end tell. The tell statement is written like an if statement in a lot
of commands. If you have a one-line if statement, you don't need the
"end if", but if it is a multiple line command, then you need the "end
if". Since your tell statement tells skype what to do on the same
line, you don't need the "end tell".
I am not sure about the second part. Do you normally click on the
file and it brings up terminal, or do you bring up terminal and then
issue the command to start it from the command line? If it is the
latter, then you would issue thee command like you did in the script
to vacuum your mail. However, if you normally click on the file, then
I think the script should look like:
try
tell application "skype" to activate
tell application "finder"
open file "clisk_mac" in home
end tell
end try
If terminal is the default application to open the file, you don't
have to tell it to use terminal. Also if the file has an extension,
you need to include that in the file name. Hopefully that helps; I'm
not very good with applescript either.

Ok I'm almost there but right as I complied I got this.
Expected “end” or “on” but found “end tell”.
Here is the script. For some reason these infovox voices won't let
me arrow through the thing so I'm suigm text edit to write the thing
instead.
try
tell application "skype" to activate
end tell
tell application "finder"
open "~clisk_mac" using terminal.app
end tell
end try
I think 'm close but I cannot put my finger on it.

Hi,
If its an application which is not in the list accessible by
applescript, you need to use finder to open it
Tell application "skype"activate
Endt tell
Tell application "finder"
Open "application.app" of folder "applications" of startup disk
End tell
Just on top of my head, but this is what is done for documents and
folders, so it also applies to files thus applications and scripts
too.
Cheers
