Yes! That sounds excellent. In fact, I'm amazed how good that looks.
That documentation however - unless its been updated in Xcode 1.5 - is 
pretty awful for looking/searching through. (Unless, also, I'm meant to 
be looking elsewhere than the Applescript Language Guide - last updated 
1999!) Not to worry - I'll keep looking.

What you've given me works better than I would have dreamed. Thanks 
heaps!
