Thank you very much guys!
Thanks to your suggestions now the script works very well! :-D
The final form is:
<cut-here>
tell application "Finder" to set frontAppPath to path to frontmost application
tell application "System Events"
set frontAppName to displayed name of frontAppPath
set frontmost of process frontAppName to true
tell process frontAppName to keystroke "MyText"
end tell
<cut-here>
....
FWIW, I've been told that "System Events" should be faster at this. So perhaps (untested from script menu) the following will do:
<cut-here>
tell application "System Events"
set frontAppName to (displayed name of (path to frontmost application))
set frontmost of process frontAppName to true
tell process frontAppName to keystroke "MyText"
end tell
<cut-here>
