Very Basic AppleScript Question

[TheMTtakeover]

tell application "Terminal"
	activate
	do script "open -a "Activity Monitor""
end tell

How to make the above work? It doesn't like the dual set of quotation marks but I need because Activity Monitor is two words. I'm sure there is a very simple fix for this, I just don't know much about AppleScript.

----------

Sorry solved.

tell application "Terminal"
	activate
	do script "open -a Activity' 'Monitor"
end tell

tell app "Activity Monitor" to launch

That's plain ordinary AppleScript. You can copy and paste it into AppleScript Editor directly, and run it. Terminal.app doesn't need to be involved.

Yeah, go with this.

You don't need terminal in there.
