[TxMt] prefixing TM_PROJECT DIRECTORY in applescript

Within a snippet,  I am trying to prefix  the $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY   
to a file name in applescript  (but I am not sure how TM environment  
variables &  files are concatenated into the applescript world?).

In essence,  the file textmatetostata.do is created   (from  
textmate)  by default in the  $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY.  The problem is  
that  when stata activates  it cannot find it - since it opens in a  
different directory by default.
What I am trying to do is as below: (but this is failing!)

query=${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:-$TM_CURRENT_LINE}
echo "$query" > textmatetostata.do

osascript -e "tell application \"Stata\"
activate
open POSIX file   {$TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY} & \"textmatetostata.do\"
end tell"


   - thanks
danstan
