Note that "ASCII character" is obsolete in Leopard due to full Unicode
support in the language. See the new AppleScrit release note. I don't
know if it is not valid anymore or just not recommended.
Anyway, storing a bank account password in an AppleScript is not very
secure.

I hope you know that to get this to work, you have to check the box
that says "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal
Access preferences pane.
Maybe the upgrade to Leopard has changed this setting.

Martin,
Thank you, that seems to have fixed things.
Something changed between Tiger & Leopard.
