I appreciate that Shane but I'm afraid that
set selected of text frame "article_one_text_box" of page 2 to true
didn't work either.
I also tried just the generic
set selected of text frame "article_one_text_box" of document 1 to true
with the same result.

Whilst you ponder that one... Can you tell me how to address a particular text frame within a group. I have a calendar made up of 28 to 31 text boxes named Cal_1, Cal_2, etc. They are all grouped within another frame named Jan_06, Feb_06, etc.

It seems that InDesign's scripting capabilities are much more robust that Xpress, but a little more complicated for a novice like me to understand as well.

Thanks Dave for moving my errant post!
