I can confirm that some aspects of some programs are beyond the reach 
of GUI scripting. I've explored my very own "made with Revolution" 
application, and found that only about 50% of it could be GUI scripted.

Mr. or Mrs. bfr, you are correct. As far as I know (and I've researched 
it and tried it) Revolution (currently anyway) will not provide you 
everything you need for your app, even with Applescript and GUI 
scripting.
