Thank's. I tried the echo command in the terminal and it works with the regular carachter's but not with the extended.
The script doesn't work either. I did the following to test the script. First an explaining what the script is doing.
It put files in Library—>Application Support and then moves them to the Application folder if there's no such files. It don't overwrite. This is also working with files without accentuated letters.
So, I did used the letter lowercase "o" instead wich have the octal code "0157" like this:
#!/bin/bash
cp -R -n -p "/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2008/Komponenter/Jazz filf\0157rval" "/Applications/Finale 2008/Komponentfiler".
The script didn't respond to this, so it seems to me that octal ascii code doesn't work in this kind of script?

script(1) General Commands Manual script(1)
NAME
script - Makes a transcript of terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [file]
The script command makes a transcript of everything printed on your terminal.
OPTIONS
Appends the transcript to file rather than writing it to file.
OPERANDS
The name of an output file that will contain the transcript of the session. If this parameter is omitted, the file typescript is written.
DESCRIPTION
The transcript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option is given. If no file name is given, the transcript is saved in the
file typescript.
The script ends when the forked shell exits.
This program is useful when you are using a CRT and want a hard-copy record of the dialog (for example, a technical writer might create an
example of a working session this way).
If you specify the -a option and the file does not exist, it is created.
If you do not specify the -a option and the file exists, it is replaced.
RESTRICTIONS
The script command requires a streams based terminal. In single user mode, streams may not be enabled. Under these circumstances, script
will exit with no action. If you are the superuser and need to run this command in single user mode, use the following special instruc-
tions.
Enabling Streams
If it is necessary to enable a streams environment in the single user mode, enter the command /sbin/init.d/streams. This command is avail-
able to the superuser only.
