Ok, I've seached the old posts and they all seem to be about running applescript commands from within the CLI. What I want to know is, how do I run a CLI command from AppleScript? Specifically, I want to be able to rm files that I drop on to the script (I get really tired of the .mov files I watch in the finder becomming permanently "in use"), without having to launch Terminal.
Thanx

There are 3 Mac OS X scripting additions that will allow execution of UNIX commands from an applescript. Each has a few other functions to assist in generating more useful results for a given set of shell commands, but for simply executing commands, any one of them should do fine.
BTW, in OS X, the additions go in a folder named "ScriptingAdditions" within any of the Library folders.
