Not that it removes any of the objections to GUI scripting, but couldn't this be simplified to (still in pseudo-code):
try
select menu "hide toolbar"
end try

If the menu item is available, it will hide the toolbar, if it isn't it will just continue on its merry way. Please note that I haven't done ANY gui scripting yet, so this may not work even conceptually...

Sure you can.

Even though I can't believe I'm proposing this... when the toolbar is
visible, the Finder's View menu includes a 'Hide Toolbar' option.

When the toolbar is not visible, the menu item changes to 'Show Toolbar'

In pseudo-code

-- to toggle toolbar
try
select menu 'show toolbar'
on error
-- oops, toolbar's already shown, so hide it
select menu 'hide toolbar'
end try
