See shell() command in the Docs. However, shell() doesn't work on OS w/ 
1.1.1. :-/

There is a javascript workaround in the list archives:
http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/metacard/2002-May/001590.html

function shellSH cmd
    -- Sorry, no quote marks in cmd in this version
    -- And shellCommand is ignored
    put "do shell script" & quote & cmd & quote into s
    do s as AppleScript
    put result() into r
    replace numToChar(13) with linefeed in r
    return r
end shellSH

2.0 is going to be cool beans.
