Does anyone know how to insert the command key into a script?
Hi Sally.
AppleScript is not really designed for automating keyboard strokes. For
that, you might be better off with a macro utility like 'OneClick'.
...
Write in again, describing what you want your script to achieve, and
I'm sure that someone will be able to offer a solution...
Loved your pen name, and I hope the African blend was good. I'm tryng to
add voice commands (that was my next question) using Apple Script, and I
can't figure out how to access the menu choices at the top of the screen.
Since I just arrived here from PC world, I hope my terminology doesn't
offend anyone :-)
Where can I find OneClick?

Hi Sally,
if you already have PlainTalk (a.k.a. English Speech Recognition)
installed, you can download some free software from MacSpeech
<
http://www.macspeech.com/> called ListenDo! It will extend the
capabilities of Apple's speech recognition engine and provide you
with spoken access to menu commands, command key combinations, text
macros, and more. ListenDo! makes extensive use of AppleScript for
any other command you can create.
And now I will I need to declare that I work for MacSpeech, and the
following is partially a product plug. My defense is that this is
still germane to Sally's questions about voice commands. ;)
<plug>
You can also take a look at the commercial product, iListen, it
essentially provides the above but also includes a user dependent
continuous speech engine, it will provide substantially greater
recognition accuracy than PlainTalk. It will also allow you to
dictate into pretty much any application.
Introductory pricing is $99 without a headset.

OneClick can be found at: <

hope this helps!
