Hmm, "Enable access for assistive devices" is not checked in the Universal
Access pref pane? keystroke works without "Enable access..." checked, but
anything that would involve using a mouse would be disabled.

It was not and now it is, thanks!

How do I "keystroke" a Command-Shift-z?

keystroke "z" using {command down, shift down}
or
keystroke "Z" using command down

This also works, thanks.

After reading your e-mail, it occurred to me that much of this may be on the web, where I probably should have looked in the first place (sorry for the lack of imagination) so I searched for "System Events" in Safari's Google box and found the 1st link to be Apples:
http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscripting/
where much of your help is also explained with examples and a button for downloading UIElementInspector that lets you look inside various objects.

Or, perhaps if I could tell System Events to click the green (+) button
on the RealOne Player window (which would also zoom the window), how
would I do that?

Don't go there! :-)

No kidding, even UIElementInspector can't look inside the RealOne Player window and "see" the little buttons that light up in other windows -- perhaps it's not Cocoa nor Carbon but just a look alike.
