I don't have a Mac right now to test, but doesn't the click command have a
'with modifiers' parameter? Check the System Events dictionary...

Subject: Click menu item with option key down
How can I change the code below so that when the click action is
called, it sends a click with the option key down.
activate application "Printer Setup Utility"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Printer Setup Utility"
click menu item "Add Printer." of menu "Printers" of menu
bar item
"Printers" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
In order to get the advanced menu item to appear, you need to hold
down the option key and either click the Add button or hold the option
key and select Add Printer from the Printers menu.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Rhon
