When you run your script, can you run it NOT from within a terminalwindown but by just clicking on it? Maybe that would work -- it wouldn't open up the terminal window to begin with.

By the way, I clicked on this link from Meerkat to see if I could learn how to create a shell script that runsfrom terminal to begin with. I make the file, but how do you make it executable so it can run?
