I am trying (still) to get a handle on GUI scripting and am finding myself moving backwards, not forwards. Below is the simple script I'm testing:

tell application "TextEdit" to activate
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
click menu item "New" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1 of application "TextEdit"

try:

click menu item "New" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1 of process "TextEdit"

You want to send the click to a process not an application.
