Jonathan C. Cohn jonc...@cox.net Did you get the script saved in AppleScript? Once that is done then the rest of what was discussed is in the VoiceOver Utility gotten to via the VO-F8 key sequence. In the Utility there is an area called commanders, and within the commanders you can link VoiceOver actions to keys or some touch pad actions. There is also a item to run an applescript from the commander area.
This should hopefully be enough information to get you to find Apple Help documents that describe what you need to do in more detail.
