Kaveh, Here's a way to do it interactively from Terminal. The following simple script activates Safari...
1) Open Terminal. 2) At the prompt type the following and hit return: exec osascript <<\EOF 3) You should get a new ? prompt. Type each line of the script on its own line and hit return. A new ? will show up for each line. When you have finished typing the script, it should look like this: ? tell app "Safari" ? activate ? end tell ? 4) Now at that final ? prompt, type "\EOF" and hit return. Terminal will execute the AppleScript and activate Safari. So your Terminal window should look like this when you're done (this is from my Mac): [PowerMacG4:~] kenray% exec osascript <<\EOF ? tell app "Safari" ? activate ? end tell ? \EOF [Process completed] Note that this "kills" your terminal window (the titlebar says "Completed Command"), so you'll need to start a new shell window for other Terminal commands after this has been executed.
