Hm, somehow my reply only went to Tim, probably because he had added  
me to the To field. Anyway, here's what I said, which is I think why  
Robin's method won't quite work:

	Ah the problem is that osascript adds this newline, and there is no  
way to tell it not to. You'll have to rewrite things a bit so that  
you capture what osascript returns in a variable, and then trim the  
newline, before printing it via "echo -n".

So you need to also trim the newline osascript added, in addition to  
telling echo not to print one of its own. At least I think so.
