Hi list and kai (kai, thanks again!),
I should have been more precise. Kai's solutions work for Photoshop's
preset
magnifications (e.g., fit in window, 100%), or for pre-set steps 8as
kai has
indicated at the bottom of his reply).
What I need to do, however, is to set the zoom magnification to,
precisely,
116.3%
And that is because at this mag, and for my screen resolution, an 8x10
image
to be printed measures, in the screen, exactly 8x10.
That is, in terms of size at least, it is wysiwyg.
For the record, I just posted an off-list reply to Mike at almost the
same time he posted the above message (presumably thinking I wasn't
here). Here's the gist of it, FWIW...

I wondered if that might be what you were after but, since you also
mentioned zooming in and out, I kinda hoped that the suggestions might
be of some use. Unfortunately, there's no way that I know of to set a
specific zoom size. However...
At that magnification a photo to be printed has the same screen size
as the
final printout (for the screen res I am using)
In that case, it's possible that the "Print Size" option will do the
trick for you - since that zooms to the actual print size, according
to screen and document resolutions. There's no keystroke option for
that here, although it's available via the "View" Menu. (I'm hoping
that CS's menu options are fundamentally similar.)
Try something like this, which works fine here:
----------------
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Adobe Photoshop 7.0"
-- change name
set frontmost to true
click menu item "Print Size" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
end tell
----------------
