The second item is - there really needs to be a "wait" command in the
System Events osax that can wait until an object's condition passes a
test, i.e. "wait window 1 exists = true". I'm sure the former users
of OneClick will understand exactly what I mean. With out a wait
command the only solution seems top be a

OS 10.2.3, AS 1.9, System Events 1.2 Beta
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
tell menu bar 1 to tell menu "View" to pick menu item "International"
delay 4 -- needs to wait for window existence
tell window 1 to tell tab group 1
click radio button "Input Menu"
delay 4 --needs to wait for proper tab
tell scroll area 1 to tell table 1
repeat with x from 1 to count rows --"
if title of button 1 of row x is "Character Palette" then
click check box 1 of row x - click is too fast
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
My apologies to the list for the way this ended, I am at work, the
phone rang, and I'm doing 6 things at once. Nuff said.
To continue - Without a wait command the only solution seems to be a
processor intensive repeat loop or a time wasting delay command. I'm
open to suggestions if anyone has any.
