Normally, I would agree with you 100%. In this case, however, most
of these users are brand new to the Mac platform, switching over from
the Windows world, and have no clue about how to do things on a Mac.
I just want to make things as ridiculously easy for them as possible.
Thanks again for all the help!

only way,
UI scripting is a fragile hack on the best day of its life.
