tell application "OmniOutliner"
	tell document 1
		set theRow to the selected row
		set theParent to the first parent of theRow
		set theChildren to the children of theParent
		
		set newRow to make new row at the end of the children of theParent
		set the topic of newRow to "bar"
		
		move newRow to after theRow
		
	end tell
end tell
