FileMaker Pro doesn't seem to implement the Accessibility API very well, if
at all, so we find that it doesn't respond well to GUI Scripting (which is
based on the Accessibility API).

I believe FileMaker Pro has a lot of non-standard (by today's reckoning)
user interface element code. It is, after all, a pretty old application. So
the developers will probably have to add the necessary routines to support
Accessibility in a future rev.
