We use the Pointer class to deal with pointers. See page 118 in the=20
F-Script manual.

Try this instead:

error :=3D Pointer malloc:8.
leScript :=3D NSAppleScript alloc initWithSource:'tell application=20
"Terminal" \n activate \n end tell'.
leScript executeAndReturnError:error.

This should activate the Terminal application.

Note that you can't directly dereference Pointer objects with F-Script.=20=

In this case, this means that you can't get at the dictionary pointed=20
by "error" if there is an error during the execution of the Applescript=20=

script. This limitation will be removed in the next version of=20
F-Script, where we will have support for dereferencing.

Best,
