I've run out of ideas. Sorry. I think what is needed is for Apple to add a
"with modifiers" parameter to System Event's click command. I don't imagine
that would be difficult (I'd think that it would just be a matter of setting
some bits in the event that it generates). Perhaps in 10.5?
Good luck. I'll poke around and see if I can think of something in
Objective-C that might do what you need.

Subject: Fwd: Click menu item with option key down
--I am sending this to the list again because I have not yet seen it
come through--
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
