Either of my earlier suggestions (scpt or app) work fine for me (10.4.3):
What happened when you tried them?

Thank you, kai, for pointing me right to the earlier posting. I had overlooked it. Works great. Appreciate the help. For example, a useful little "Quote This" menu script as follows:


set appName to (info for (path to frontmost application))'s short name
tell application "System Events"
    set process appName's frontmost to true
    keystroke "c" using command down
    set the clipboard to "\"" & (the clipboard) & "\""
    keystroke "v" using command down
end tell
