Christopher,
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

There is a small cli utility that can controll all aspects of the apple desktop from the command line, cliclick. It is free and the developer is very open to requests for changes:
Hey XB,
Yes, it's pretty spiffy.
I can put a cliclick macro series of keystrokes in a shell script but AppleScript seems not to evoke it, it simply seems to ignore it.
AppleScript's shell environment is not the same as your log-in shell.
Run this in the Script Editor:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
set shCMD to "
echo $PATH
"
do shell script shCMD
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Compare to echo $PATH in the Terminal.
This sort of thing should work, although you might have to adjust the path(s) a bit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
set shCMD to "
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH;
cliclick m:500,500
"
do shell script shCMD
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you're wanting to automate non-scriptable apps then you should discover more about System Events and GUI-Scripting and perhaps Keyboard Maestro <http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/>.
