Applescript for "cmd +":[^1]

tell application "System Events"
  	key code 69 using command down
end tell

And for "cmd  -"

tell application "System Events"
  	key code 78 using command down
end tell

You can duplicate the "key code..." lines if you need.

To make a TM command:

osascript <<-APPLESCRIPT
tell application "System Events"
  	key code 69 using command down
end tell
APPLESCRIPT


[^1]: I used the Numpad's  + and - codes (69 and 78) as I don't have  
a + key on my french kb (it's "shift ="). Most apps accept "cmd ="  
instead of "cmd +", but not TM, so I have this command triggered by  
"cmd =". ;)
