I have solved a problem where a menu item for an extension to QuarkXPress
(MathSetterTM) is not available because it require both a menu selection AND
a meta-key (OPTION). I solved the issue by invoking QuicKeys to do both
simultaneously:
Menu "UnTypeset" From "MathSetter" OPT
I would prefer to do this more naturally from inside my AppleScript, it
seems like a kludge. I have Leonard Rosenthal's extension but don't know
any syntax for adding a meta-key press. Could someone help me out? I
imagined it would look like this, but this doesn't work:
Select Menu Item menu title "MathSetter" menu item text "UnTypeset" with OPT
Statement works great up to the "with", doesn't accomplish goal. Error
message is a beep.
