How to add a "tab" in Excel

I am beginning to learn applescript and have just recorded my first script in
Excel. I am attempting to type text into adjacent cells. When I record the
script, it begins by selecting the "active cell". Then, when I tab to the next
cell to the right, the reference is to a specific cell in the spreadsheet, as a
row and column, not as for instance "tab to the next cell to the right." How
do I program applescript to change to a cell relative to the first active
cell, rather than referring to an absolute position in the spreadsheet?
Eventually, I may want to navigate up or down, to the left or right of any given cell
where I am working.

Also, do any of you have advice on the best books for Applescript in Panther?
This is my first attempt at programming. Thanks in advance for the help. I
had been using Quickeys X2, but I find it is far too slow for what I am trying
to do. Applescript blasted through my first script faster than I could see it
working!
