I'm trying to mock-up a script that does export EPS-files.

Using System Events scripting, the two script examples below works, but the dialogue presented on my mac is not the EPS Export Options, it leads to the PDF dito.
Any ideas?

Test 1)

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" to activate
tell application "System Events"
	tell application process "InDesign 2.0.2"
		keystroke "e" with {command down}
		tell window "Export"
			tell pop up button 1
				click
				tell menu 1
					if the name of every menu item contains "EPS" then
						click menu item "EPS"
					end if
				end tell
			end tell
			click button "Save"
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

Test 2)

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" to activate
tell application "System Events"
	tell application process "InDesign 2.0.2"
		keystroke "e" with {command down}
		click pop up button 1 of window "Export"
		keystroke (ASCII character 31) -- down arrow
		keystroke (ASCII character 31) -- down arrow
		keystroke return
		click button "Save" of window "Export"
	end tell
end tell
