Thanks guys for the quick response. I thought it would be simple to do
with Applescript. I guess there is a reason why it isn't.
I bought Quickeys years ago, but got tired of having to upgrade.
I just downloaded TypeIt4Me. I'll give it a try.
Thanks again,
Ken

In order to do the same task I don't bother to use AppleScript, but
rather use TypeIt4Me, a typing expander that has a much broader and
more general applicability than just mail, though TypeIt4Me gets a lot
of exercise in mail I write every day. Heck, I use TypeIt4Me to type
code blocks for me.
Just my opinion, but I find it's more convenient than a script because
you don't have to take your hands off the keyboard to grab the mouse,
and you're not limited to the number of boiler plates you could attach
to the few function keys you have available. I'd recommend you try
that out before using AppleScript to create boiler plate text.

A newbie question...
I am looking for a very simple script. I want to add boiler plate
text wherever the cursor is. Basically, I want to be able to press a
function key, and have text inserted at the cursor. I will primarily
use this for Mail.
Can a script just take the uppermost open window, and add text after
the cursor? Or does it have to talk to a specific application.
It seems so simple, yet I haven't been able to make it work.
Thank you,
Ken Simpson
