Gareth,
'Round about the 13th of June 2003, depending on your location and your date
settings[1], there was a discussion which suggested this as the proper means
of using 'keystroke'. [see thread: GUI Scripting / Keystroke ]

[1] Regarding date settings, note Bill C's date string for that posting:

You can see that Bill prefers the evolving format known as 'QED - Quechee
Encrypted Date', which allows for a random mixing of date units or, as is
shown in this example, by selecting any valid starting digit and generating
the remaining date items by doubling (this preference is set at encryption
time and is not transmitted to recipients who do not have your public
keychee.)
This is a powerful proprietary date encryption scheme, especially appealing
to those of us who can not remember birthdays, dental visits, anniversaries
and other such notable dates. This system reduces date memory loss by
simply reducing valid dates! The only allowable numerical date units are
those numbers 0 through 12, inclusive, which are divisible by three and
which can either be doubled or multiplied by a factor of 1 (all other
so-called 'dates' are represented with "missing value", without the quotes,
of course).
When reading the time in a QED formatted date string, you start at the right
and move left. The time shown in the above real world example is:
fifty-three minutes after one (the trick is that the 'time preposition' is
substituted as if it were being grammatically read left-to-right...the 3 and
5 come _after_ the 1 and 0, so we use 'after' in the decoded time.
