Applescript, InDesign CS3

Hello,

On my page I am talking to a text frame.
I could easily enter text with the command set last insertion point to "a text". No problem, but:

Somewhere on my page I have also a page item (which is a small rectangle). I would like to insert (cut and paste or whatever) that small rectangle at the end of my text into my text frame (so that the small rectangle becomes part of the text just as if it was a character).

How can this be done with Applescript?

Hoping very much that someone can help me with example code.

Kind regards,
Bertus Bolknak.
