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>
It works, thanks! :-)
Somehow I was convinced that the "path to" command was in the Finder
dictionary... '^_^
In fact it belongs to neither the Finder or System Events, but to
Standard Additions - so the first version above should have worked with
the first line as simply: "set frontAppPath to path to frontmost
application".
