OK. Can you also try the same commands in AppleScript to check if it 
works there or not. Something like:
tell app "System Events"
	tell process "Hourglass"
		set value of text field 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 3 ¬
			of splitter group 1 of window "Untitled" to "<string>"
		return value of text field 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 3 ¬
			of splitter group 1 of window "Untitled"	
	end
end
Thanks,
