UI Scripting Plist Editor

Has anyone tried this? And had a bit of success? I would really like to edit some of the properties of a plist, but the farthest I got was opening the plist:

-- my Folder is the path to the folder just created, and plist is the name of a file inside of it
-- this part works
tell application "Property List Editor"
activate
set plistToOpen to myFolder as string
set plistToOpen to plistToOpen & plist as string
open plistToOpen as alias
end tell

Once the plist was open I could not do anything. A tree structure is already present in the opened plist, I tried to expand the tree using the new PreFab UIBrowser's click position, and varied anything I thought might help. But it wouldn't expand. If there is a better way to do this (manually is not better :-) I would be grateful for information. Or if anyone has had any luck opening an outline on the property list editor, any examples or info would be great.

Thanks in Advance,

Brandon Lake

By the by - I'm on the digest, so a cc would be great. :o)
thanks
