How to use sudo in a bash script?

Thanks for the two responses suggesting gksudo. This takes me a stage
further. I now have :

gksudo usr/sbin/synaptic

in the script.

Sure enough this opens a window to enter a password, but then synaptic
does not run after the correct password is entered.

gksudo -u <username> usr/sbin/synaptic gives the same result.

More enlightenment please.
