click at point click at point with key1 click at point with key1, key2 click at point with key1, key2, key3

The click at command clicks the mouse from within scripts. It acts exactly as if the user had clicked the mouse on the screen.

If point is within the rectangle of a button, a locked field, or anywhere else on the card, HyperCard sends the mouseDown, mouseStillDown, and mouseUp messages to the object.

If point is within the rectangle of an unlocked field, HyperCard sets the insertion point in the field.

The with key options specify combinations of the commandKey, the optionKey, and the shiftKey, just as if the user were holding down the key or keys while clicking the mouse.
