How do I ask politely for the "process that was active just before I ran this script"?! Is there a better way to copy selected text to the clip board


This is how I do it:

tell application "System Events"

    set theProcess to every process whose frontmost is true

    tell process theProcess to keystroke "c" using command down

end tell
