You need to use UI scripting for something like that. You'll want to download this:
http://prefabsoftware.com/uibrowser/
And use it to find what element you're going to type in. Fantastic thing about that program (it's a 30 day trial) is that once you've found the element you want to do something with, you can have it create tell blocks to paste directly in to script editor...
