Well, at least you can delete and then empty the trash. For me, the biggest
issue is how to issue key commands to the keyboard like with Sdndi's Additions,
etc. How are we to get through a simple "OK" button? Or, has everybody
else figured out how? Mouse clicks, key commands, return, etc.

I looked on osaxen.com but found no scripting additions to handle the
keyboard & mouse. I rarely use third party osax, but without these, there
are dramatic limitations on what can be done.

What is especially a problem is these controls over the input help to bridge
the gaps where the scripting support is broken or not yet developed. So, on
the top of my list is keyboard & mouse controls for OSX. Just Click,
Double Click, with coordinates and TypeText, that's all I need right now.
