   GUI Scripting Events

Scripters have often requested the
ability to control, via AppleScript, applications that either do not
have AppleScript support or are only partially scriptable. Mac OS X v10.3 includes support for the control of the computer's graphic user interface via AppleScript.

Graphic user interface control is performed by an updated version of
the System Events application. By addressing the System Events
application, AppleScript scripts can select menu items, push buttons,
enter text into text fields, and generally control the interfaces of
most non-Classic applications.

The following image illustrate the process of enabling and using the GUI Scripting architecture. 

By default, the accessibility frameworks are disabled. An administrative user can enable them by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane and entering their password in the forthcoming authentication dialog.
