If changing a setting in System Prefs works, then you might like to 
check out GUI scripting which allows you to program a sequence of 
commands, clicks etc. You could then run that as AppleScript through 
Rev and have it automatically open System Prefs, set the correct 
settings and then go back to your record routine setting the input to 
"dflt"
