I use intensively AppleScript and Remote Desktop, but not AS in ARD.
Though, I tried what you can't make work, and I could have ARD control a given computer, using this script :
tell app "Remote Desktop"
set c to item 1 of (every computer whose name is "q4")
control c
end
HTH.
Best,
Emmanuel

I have tried several ways to make that command work, but so far the script says it did everything correctly. I never get a window to be created so I can control the machine in question. I have tried the control command against a single machine and against a list with out any results.
