HELP!: Shell Scripts/Apple Script/Terminal

ok posted in mac os x forums , got no replies (although 596!!! people viewed it), figured in wrong forums re-posting here:

hey guys, pretty new mac, , sort of confused things. know lot of guys experts/pros , hoping in-depth help.

here dilemma: trying create type of shortcut on desktop that, when clicked on, automatically launch terminal , execute command put macbook hibernate mode (or 'safe sleep' mode apple calls it). native windows user, please bear me not know/recognize many apple terms , slang , shortcuts.

have read places can create script or reads:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 5
exit
, save 'hibernate.command'? on contrast, if want sleep normal create script saying:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
exit
, save 'sleep.command'? exact process still unclear.

have right @ all? can save shortcut of terminal script (or file itself) desktop---so have double-click , terminal automatically opens , executes closes (the 'exit' command?), , can close lid put computer in safe sleep/hibernation (it saves current session disk , powers down)? or there script can write tell computer save image of current session disk power down automatically? text editor need/use this? hope out there knows/understands trying accomplish. please help! lol

if have wrong, please point me in right direction, or 1 of experts perhaps walk me step-by-step thru (please literally walk me step step if dummy, lol----that's need, because trying learn this), or post need or send me link link script written it's supposed be? (please, please no smart-ass/degrading/badgering/begrudging comments "why on earth want hibernate mac, why not put sleep normal?" or "i have mentioned in various places/other forums" or "why not use third party software?". have reasons wanting/needing hibernate it---remember newbie os x, , help/expertise appreciated).

 

pmset sets "sleep" do. changes setting in nvram, kind of changing bios setting on typical pc.

still need tell machine sleep in usual way.

• close lid.
• -> sleep.
• tap power button.
• applescript: osascript -e 'tell application "system events" sleep'

or, have mentioned in various places. use 1 of many third party tools aim make easier.
