Hello here is a script which do that except if you are using an old
version (before 628) in which deleting an empty row activates the bad
old eutocalc on strike bug.
-- [SCRIPT SS 20x20]
...
-- [/SCRIPT]
Fortunately, I'm using 6.2.9.
Thank you very much for your insightful and painstakingly complete script.
My principal discovery from your script was the
"select menu item 14 of menu 4" command, which
makes unnecessary my call to System Events: 'tell
application "System Events" to tell process
"AppleWorks 6" to keystroke "k" using {shift
down, command down}..." (the "Delete Cells...
item).
For all the weaknesses of AppleWorks's
dictionary, I have to admit that the "menu item"
class and its properties, "enabled", "checked"
and "check character", are very useful. Thank you
for alerting me to these!
Jonathan
