was trying to do this via a shell script like so...

#!/bin/bash
sudo vim /private/etc/hosts

but was getting annoyed with it. Your steps worked for me right off the bat. Many thanks.

@Jorge: The scripts are above lines
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "TextMate"
open input
end tell
return input
end run
I've been experienced the failure in 10.5.7, that's why I used the AppleScript.

No, it doesn't work in 10.5.7 on my MacBook Pro... Can you post the script?? Thanks!
