New to Keyboard Maestro - need help with mail macro

I am just trying out Keyboard Maestro. Have done a couple of simple macros but am having some difficulty on current attempt.

Basically I want to do the following:
From mail.app, select an item.
Press a hot key to invoke macro that will then do:
1) Select Forward message from the Mail>Message menu
2) position cursor in To field
3) enter a specific address
4) Select Send from the Mail>Message menu

Would be happy to end it here but to be really impressive would like to:

5) prompt to Save or Delete the original message
6a) if Delete - just delete it
6b) if Save, prompt for which mail folder and then move the message to that folder
7) end macro

The current problem is at Step 2 and 3. I've tried Activate and Insert Text, but the macro just stops at that point. If I Record, the whole op (up to step 4) works great. The problem with that is that the mouse action is dependent on the Forward Message pane always being in the same spot.

Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

Cheers!
