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.
