I have a applescript with the following:

on open dir
    tell application "Finder"
        tell application "Terminal"

            activate

            tell application "Terminal"

                do script "cd " & dir

            end tell
        end tell
    end tell    
end open

It works, and gets the directory thats dropped on it, but it cd’s into cd Macintosh HD:Users:USER:Desktop:C Files:

Is there any way to replace : with / ? in applescript?
