Thanks Craig,

Looks like the way to go.

However the instructions for installing Cliclick are over my head.

"Put cliclick anywhere you like. The best (i.e.: most common) place would probably be

/usr/local/bin"

I tried the Application folder and the Universal Scripts folder.

I also tried looking for /usr/local/bin with sherlock, etc.

I tried iShow Invisible but that gave me too many options.

Any other suggestions?

I'm trying to change an iKey function to a script.

tell application "System Events"
Move cursor to 57,12 (T/L)
click -- click left mouse button
end tell

Moving the mouse and clicking can be achieved using cliclick -> http://www.bluem.net/en/mac/cliclick/
ex.
do shell script "cliclick 51 17"

If you only want to move the mouse and not perform a click then you can use CGWarpMouseCursorPosition().

Here is an example using MacRuby but you could easily turn this into a command line utility.
set x to 57
set y to 12
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/macruby -e \"framework 'carbon'\" -e \"framework 'ApplicationServices'\" -e \"CGWarpMouseCursorPosition(CGPointMake(" & x & "," & y & "))\""
