There's one alternative, though, which is somewhat preferable since it
doesn't involve the clipboard (you have no idea what valuable information
may have been on the clipboard before you destroyed it). You can use UI
scripting to blindly type any keys. If you don't specify an application the
current frontmost app gets them:
set myText to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke myText
end tell
In the Script Editor window it works flawlessy, but If I try to execute
the script from the Script Menu when I am in a TextEdit document, for
example, it doesn't work.
It works only inside Script Editor.
