I am trying to automate some CD burning with Toast 5 Titanium. I have everything work with setting up an AppleScript but I can't get AppleScript to tell Toast to burn the disc as a disc (as opposed to as a session). I see the commands in the AppleScript dictionary but I can't get it to work without either an error or Toast just stopping at that point. I have looked for example scripts for Toast but I can't find anything of any use. Help and/or references to helpful sites and example scripts are is most appreciated.

If Toast, or any other app, doesn't have an AppleScript command to do something, you can use GUI Scripting to do it instead. This allows you to do anything can you can normally do through the GUI with a script. You can download it from apple.com/applescript.

Thanks but I've been there. It shows me I can script the session vs disc part but I can't figure out exactly how. That's why I was hoping for some example scripts that actually deal with burning in Toast but there appear to be none available online.
