Hi Esther.
You're batting a thousand... No, a thousand and 5. Thank you very very
much for this clear explanation. I'm keeping this message and, this
week-end, I'm doing this.
If ever I can do anything to help you in any way, feel free to ask away...
Thanks again,
Take care,
JC

To add a new keyboard shortcut for an AppleScript
VO-keys+m to the Apple menu on the menu bar
VO-keys+down arrow to Systems Preferences
tab to Keyboard & Mouse and VO-keys+space to select this
VO-keys+right arrow or tab key to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab > If the

To assign a new shortcut, VO-keys+right arrow to the "+" button > The
help (VO-keys+h) for this will say "Click to define shortcuts > within
applications"
VO-keys+spacebar to press the "+" button
