hmmm, well, Frames can't work like that stephen as far as I know.
the fact that noone else has responded yet either, suggests that perhaps
others believe so as well?

What you'd want would be some other more complex scripty way to do that I
reckon.  and then whatever you did would probably have to have something
added to the default script set, since it sounds like you want it to work
when that application hasn't got focus.  And that's of course not the way
the app-based scripts usually work.  at least as far as I'm aware. But I'm
no real scripter by a long shot, but perhaps my ponderings might bring
others out of the woodwork with suggestions, as to how one would even begin
to go about coding such a function.
