How to script “go to chapter x” in iTunes for a playing audio book file?

Hi all,
Does anyone know of an applescript command that will tell iTunes to go to a specific chapter of a currently playing audio book?
Also, a got to previous chapter/next chapter command set would be most helpful too.

Thanks,
Rob

As far as I can tell there is no way to control audio books via Applescript.

Well, the “Chapters” menu is a pull-down menu at the top of the computer screen (right up there with “file”, “edit”, etc.). It appears when a audio book, with chapters, is playing.
Is there a way tell have applescript select the 3rd item down from the “Chapters” pull-down menu?
Is that kind of command possible?

Thanks,
Rob
