I don't have Extra Suites so I don't know what that command does.

Just guessing:
I found a script supplied by Apple in my machine's   /Library/Scripts/UI Element Scripts/Key Down-Up.applescript

It has statements like this in it:

key down option
  keystroke "e"
  delay 1
  key up option
  keystroke "e"
  keystroke return

  keystroke "e" using option down
  delay 1
  keystroke "e"
  keystroke return

  key down shift
  keystroke "p"
  key up shift
  keystroke return

  key down option
  keystroke "p"
  key up option
  keystroke return

  key down {shift, option}
  keystroke "p"
  key up {shift, option}
  keystroke return

  keystroke "p" using {shift down, option down}
  keystroke return

HTH
