I googled for it but I didn't find the correct answer.
Is it possible to control TM via AppleScript à la
tell app "TextMate" activate end tell tell app "System Events" tell process "TextMate.app" tell menu bar 1 tell menu bar item "Help" tell menu "Help" click menu item "Release Notes" end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell
I tried several things but I couldn't find a solution and it seems to me that this is not possible.
Many thanks for every hint.

Many thank,
but if I try to execute this as bash using osascript or with Script Editor I always get the error message:
195:228: execution error: System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1)
TM will be activated but no further actions.

I found the reason for this error. Arrrgh!
I had to set within System Preferences > Universal Access 'Enable access for assistive devices' to true.
Nevertheless many thanks!

Please take a look in the TextMate AppleScript bundle for the "Select Menu Item with UI Scripting" snippet, and take a look at [this][1] hint to macosxhints.com, before you write such gross looking scripts (note that this isn't your fault. The system wants the scripts to look gross like that, apparently).
