Put the chars you want onto clipboard in Rev - use a suitable time

An ingenious suggestion, which might indeed work for some apps; but
not for a browser instance inside Rev. Your suggestion did make me
test what happened if my Rev app executed 'paste' while the focus was
on a text field in the web page in the browser instance in the stack:
the result was can't "paste (empty clipboard or locked destination)".
He didn't mean use Rev's internal paste command, but to use AppleScript
to make the frontmost application (in this case Rev) paste.
Sadly, Rev doesn't actually honor the 'paste' applescript event - you can only
have it execute a script, hence perform it's own paste command - which gets
back to the problem noted before.
But, Jim Sim's suggestion of AppleScripting the "System Events" utility, which
I didn't know about, works a treat - no need in fact for the clipboard at all,
just use "key code X" directly for the character to be inserted. Superb,
thanks very much!
