PList Editing and UIScripting

Hello again, Bill and all other Scripting enthusiasts,

A while ago I brought up this question - I'm a student so this is kind of a side project for me. Don't have a lot of time, that's why I'm so on and off with the list.
Anyway, I was working on trying to edit a plist file with applescript, I did get the AXDisclosing property to work on panther (I would prefer working on Jaguar - but couldn't figure out the changes so I've been using Panther) So the root key in my plist opens up fine and drops down. I can also grab any key value using the simple get value from the prefab ui scripting. Unfortunately though, I've tried both direct GUI scripting with the standard:

set value of text field 2 of row 2 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window "plugin.plist" to "My Attribute"

and I also tried applying a similar idea to what was mentioned last time I posted - so I had something along the lines of:

set value of attribute "AXValue" of text field 2 of row 2 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window "plugin.plist" to "My Attribute"

Neither of which changed anything. Neither of which cause an error either. :o| ?

I'm still wondering if anyone has had any success changing these properties. The value in textfield 2 of row 2 .. . is a string. So I'm not really sure what's going on. At this point it would have been quicker to edit them all manually, but I'm curious now and hope to get it working.
