| Yay!! It works! Thank you Luther!
Here's what I've got…
set OLB to application "Online Bible" tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down tell OLB to activate
repeat 60 times -- 1 minute tell application "System Events" to set frontAppl to (name of (some process whose frontmost is true)) as text if frontAppl is OLB then delay 1
end repeat
tell application "System Events" delay 0.3 keystroke "f" using command down delay 0.3 keystroke "v" using command down delay 0.2 keystroke (key code 36)
end tell

WARNING: The 'delay' is there for a reason having nothing to do with 'beep'. If you have a 'repeat' loop which will run for a long time, it must contain a 'delay' to prevent overheating of your CPU.
I do monitor my CPU temperature and without a 'delay' or with a too-short 'delay' I can watch the CPU temperature rise. This can be dangerous!
