scripting keyboard strokes to action menu commands

I am trying to automate an application which conveniently has keyboard equivalents for most of its menu items. For instance "command 6" to do such and such, "command shift 2" to do something else. All I need to do is string a few of these things together to satisfy my goal but I can't find any info regarding this.

1) How do I script "do the command 6 menu item" ?

2) Also how can make the script wait for the application to finish what it was told to do previously before the script advances, is there a " wait until the application is not busy" command?

advTHANKSance
