Get UI Browser at
http://www.prefab.com/uibrowser/
It will make all this much easier. (As you can see, it's made by PreFab -
and our own Bill Cheeseman.)

I'd like to automate Phase One's "Capture One" application which has a very

The Capture One dictionary has a WINDOW entry but nothing pertaining to

click button "Or"
