This is most likely the wrong place to post this, please moderators move it if necessary.
I’ve been looking around for guides and such on internet regarding AppleScript. I saw many nice things, but not what I was looking for.
It should all be very simple really. I would like to know how to make a script run a certain key command, an example:
Make it open the Force Quit window (Command+Option+Escape).
Thanks In Advance.

Hi - You should download Full Key Codes 1.1…
http://softwares.bajram.com/utilities/#Full_Key_Codes
try this…
tell application "System Events" to key code 53 using {command down, option down}
btw, if you want the Force Quit Applications dialog box come to the front make the compiled script a background app.
or try this…
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder" to key code 53 using {command down, option down}
end tell
