combine shell scripts with administrator privileges

[Scott Morrow]

I'm trying to combine 2 shell scripts and my knowledge of shell  
scripting (and how to combine it with AppleScript) is proving too  
minimal.

I can do this:

put  "chmod 777"&& tInnerPath into tShellCmd
put "do shell script" &&quote& tShellCmd &quote&& "with administrator  
privileges" into tCmd
do tCmd as applescript

What I want to do is piggyback a second script to chmod another file  
while making use of the previous admin privileges

(Otherwise I end up with a second dialog box asking the user to enter  
the password again)

Thanks,

Scott Morrow
