Well, I'm at a loss.
Dave Saunders, in his JS blog <http://jsid.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html>, simply uses
myParent.groups.add(gpArray)
-- then again, he was using CS2 there.
I tried numerous variations for about three consecutive hours (my boss doesn't read this forum), but the best I got was finding out
var myGroup = app.activeDocument.groups.add(app.selection,null,LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING,app.activeWindow.activePage); //
NOT app.documents!
complains about 'no parent'. The location is optional; yet, if you omit it, you get another error.
I found Dave's page with some google-fu: Google groups site:jsid.blogspot.com <http://www.google.com/search?q=groups+site%3Ajsid.blogspot.com> has a few more hits. I didn't read them all, but I think you should.
Or make Dave an offer he can't refuse.
