Something like this should do the trick: put "find " & quote & quote & " in field xyz" click at 123, 234 The arguments to click at will have to be found by experimentation, and you might want to make them relative to the "loc of message box" so that it will work properly even if someone moves the message box. Also, I don't have a mac in front of me, so I'm not sure whether "quote" is the right constant, but I think it is. If not, then it's something similar.
