This has been partially answered in these 2 questions: superuser.com/questions/78222/applescript-to-lock-the-screen and superuser.com/questions/22155/…. Basically, there is no such key command equivalent. – alex Feb 1 '10 at 11:41

Okay, one solution: (1) System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver: set up a sleep corner for your screen saver (2) System Preferences -> Security: enable immediate password protection for your screen saver

Why step #2 isn't referenced from step #1 is beyond me.

10.6 has better means than this. See the duplicate. – Arjan Feb 1 '10 at 12:39
