Faking keypresses on Mac OS X

[Thomas McGrath III]

There is also the other system event codes:

Processes Suite  -  Terms and Events for controlling Processes
	click v : cause the target process to behave as if the UI element  
were clicked
		click [UI element] : The UI element to be clicked.
			[at list] : when sent to a "process" object, the { x, y } location  
at which to click, in global coordinates
			→ UI element
	key code v : cause the target process to behave as if key codes were  
entered
		key code integer : The key code(s) to be sent. May be a list.
			[using command down/control down/option down/shift down] :  
modifiers with which the key codes are to be entered
	keystroke v : cause the target process to behave as if keystrokes  
were entered
		keystroke text : The keystrokes to be sent.
			[using command down/control down/option down/shift down] :  
modifiers with which the keystrokes are to be entered
