Thanks, what I want to do is close a specific window in the finder. I have
tried

Tell application "System Events"
  close window "Dev"
End tell

  But then for an error NSReceiverEvaluationScriptErr: 4 :-(. "Dev" is the
name of the window in the finder which is of path "/Volumes/Dev".

Any idea's - I like the keystroke approach, but not sure how I get it to be
directed at a particular window.

Thanks
Mark.
