If I pull some text out of a paragraph into a JavaScript variable, it arrives as unicode. Right?

Thus, the length of the variable as JavaScript sees it corresponds to the length as InDesign sees it. Right?

Is this also true of the other scripting languages? I think so.

This is an important and valuable departure from previous versions. It means you can grab strings and use them to form pointers into your text without having to worry about the possibility that unicode extended strings will mess up your pointers.

Gosh I hope this is true. I guess I'm about to find out.
