How can I use AppleScript to select the "Copy" Item from the "Edit" menu of an application's Menubar, more specifically how can I select "Copy" for "iTunes" ?


Most applications (including iTunes) don't provide a 'copy' command in their dictionaries, which means you have to resort to GUI Scripting (which is a fragile and ugly hack) in order to mimic it.

However, the real question is: what is it you're trying to achieve? Chances are, whatever it is you're wanting to do can be done a different and/or better way, but you'll have to provide more information if you want specific advice.
