Evening all, I am trying to set up an AppleScript that opens a new document 100 pixels by 100 pixels. But when I try the code below, it opens a document 100 inches wide. How do I set the size to pixels?

My code:
make new document with properties {height:100, width:100}

I've tried specifying that as 100px or 100 pixels, but neither of them worked. Any ideas?

Actually, I figured out that I had not set the ruler units correctly, and the program was defaulting to inches. I added these two lines at the top of the script and they fixed it:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
	-- set the units to pixels
	set ruler units of settings to pixel units
	set type units of settings to pixel units
