THAT WORKS! Thanks man...

I used a menu event to show/hide the structure pane. I have a feeling this is slower than scripting InDesign directly but hey, it works!

For the interested, this is one of the scripts I'm using:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set MyWindow to active window
	tell MyWindow
		set view display setting to optimized
		set zoom percentage to 40
	end tell
end tell
if my do_menu("InDesign 2.0.2", "View", "Show Structure") is false then error number -128

on do_menu("InDesign 2.0.2", "View", "Show Structure")
	try
		-- bring the target application to the front
		tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
			activate
		end tell
		tell application "System Events"
			with timeout of 300 seconds -- 5 minutes
				tell process "InDesign 2.0.2"
					tell menu bar 1
						click menu item "Show Structure" of menu "View"
					end tell
				end tell
			end timeout
		end tell
		return true
	on error error_message
		return false
	end try
end do_menu

I could only do one thing with the do_menu thing, it gave me an error message when I tried to use it for something else in the same script. I'm probably doing something wrong as I'm such a newbie to this.
