The problem is you have a space in your path that needs to be escaped. Try
this:
put "/Users/peter/Desktop/screen\ sizer/support/cscreen -x 1600 -y 1200 -s
1" into tCmd
get shell(tCmd)
Here's a general purpose function you can use to format paths for use with
Unix (and Windows for that matter):
function stsFormatPath pPath,pPlatform
-- assumes a full "/"-delimited path
switch pPlatform
case "MacOSX"
case "Unix"
put "\" & space & quote & "'`<>!;()[]?#$^&*=" into tSpecialChars
repeat for each char tChar in tSpecialChars
replace tChar with ("\" & tChar) in pPath
end repeat
break
case "Win32"
set the itemDel to "/"
put item -1 of pPath into tFile
put "\/:*?" & quote & "<>|" into tSpecialChars
repeat for each char tChar in tSpecialChars
replace tChar with ("-") in tFile
end repeat
put tFile into item -1 of pPath
replace "/" with "\" in pPath
break
end switch
return pPath
end stsFormatPath
Have fun!
