Text script and keyframes request

I am one of the poor unfortunates that cannot script so I'm hoping for some help. I direct and edit a high school quiz show. Many of the text elements I use consist of four keyframes. I type the text for the first keyframe then cut and paste the next three keyframes. I do this with different info for at least 10 text elements. I'm wondering if there is a script to streamline this process? I would like to be able to type the info for the first keyframe and let the script apply the same text to the other three keyframes.
If not a script, other suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

This can't be done via a script. You get to keep doing this manually, unfortunately.

Yep, I kinda figured that was the case. Oh well, I've been doing it that way for two years. Thanks for the reply.

I would put in a Product Suggestion to Sony to improve the Script API with more capabilities. They will never know what new scripting functions you want unless you ask. If more people would request new features from Sony, us script writers could write more scripts for you.
