You would use AppleScript for this on the Mac; but as of yet no one  
has devled into that portion.
You would most likely want to leverage Cocoa# or ObjC# to get this  
functionality as the AppleScript
IPC layer involves sending AppleEvents back and forth from the main  
runloops.  Trying to do this in
a "standard mono program" would be challenging to say the least.
