You can try downloading a free scripting addition called <a href="http://www.eagrant.com/Sigmas-Additions.sit.hqx"; target="_blank">Sigma's Additions</a>, which adds a single command: type text. You can add text to a document and also select various menu items, provided they have keyboard equivalents. To use it, you would do something like:
[code]tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
make new document at beginning
tell front document
type text "This is a test."
type text "a" holding down command -- select all
type text "b" holding down command -- make bold
end tell
end tell</pre><hr></blockquote>
Unfortunately, there's a twenty character limit, so entering a large amount of text is cumbersome.

Hope this helps.
