Q: Regarding your AppleScript issue: I've had trouble getting my GUI actions to be recorded by pointing and clicking with a mouse. I DO get the results I want by outlining the keyboard shortcuts for the specific app. Good luck!
A: actually, the main point of this particular operation is to have solutions for those strange situations where there is absolutely no keyboard shortcut, nor menu item (if it was a menu item i could make a keyboard shortcut for it, but some software likes to go to more advanced planes of inaccessibility)
