GU I scripting and Airport passwords

Title: GU I scripting and Airport passwords
When you select a wireless network from the Airport menu that requires a password, a window appears on the screen with focus on a text field for entering the password.

Has anyone been able to use GUI scripting to fill this in?

Here is what I tried:

------------------
tell window 1
        tell text field 1 -- tried with and without this in a tell block
                keystroke netPassword
                keystroke return
        end tell
end tell
-----------------

I've also tried "set text field 1 to netPassword".

In either case no text appears in the text field.

I tried something similar with the window that comes up for "Join Other Network..." and the same scheme works just fine there - the password field fills in.

What am I missing in the first instance?

Thanks,

Don
