Turns out to be very flaky all around, I guess - I have to put "as
real" to get it to work and if your processor is busy, it will bomb
on one of the button clicks - did it to me on "plus" a bunch of times
and then started working again.

tell...
this works:
tell application "Calculator" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Calculator"
tell group 1 of window 1
click button "Clear"
click button "9"
click button "plus"
click button "5"
click button "Equals"
end tell
keystroke "c" using {command down}
end tell
set x to (the clipboard) as number
