Creating Computer to computer airport network via script

Hi, I have been trying to create an applescript to automatically create a computer to computer (ad-hoc) network, I have it mostly working in leopard (except I can't get it to set the name or click the ok button), but it fails in tiger... can anyone help me with this?

here is the script I have, perhaps there is a better way? I would like it to work in both 10.4 and 10.5... It would also be nice if the user did not have to click the ok button, and even nicer if the script could set the name of the network...

tell application "System Events" to tell process "SystemUIServer"
tell menu bar 1
set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items
repeat with the_menu from 1 to the count of menu_extras
if item the_menu of menu_extras is "Airport Menu Extra" then exit repeat
end repeat
tell menu bar item the_menu
click
delay 1
click menu item "Create Network…" of front menu
delay 1
end tell
end tell
end tell


Thanks,
Rich Simpson
