DoMenu (enter layout mode)- In FileMaker

Is there anyway other than creating an Applet to use the doMenu command
while Applescripting In my case (at least the current one) I'd like to enter
layout mode automatically -

The ever-useful Apple Events Reference (provided by FMP) states:
"Note:  Since all menu items are disabled while a ScriptMaker script is
running, you cannot use the Do Menu event to select menu items when running
your script using the Perform AppleScript ScriptMaker step..."

However, it fails to mention how you can do it.

- The only solution I've found is to launch an Applet -- painfully slow for
a one step action.


I  keep thinking there's some way to do this by messing with the Send Event
do script option  but I'm totally baffled the dialog box.

I used to use Quickeys, but am trying to not to depend on 3rd party stuff...

Thanks in advance,
xandra
