Cool. I got it to work. Thank you very much! I knew about the dictionary, but I wasn't quite sure how to interpret it. Now it makes sense to me.

Second question: how do I make a second text frame on the same page? I got one text frame, but when I try to make a second one, I get an Execution Error message: "InDesign 2.0.2 got an error: Cannot create an additional item. Operation not permitted on this collection." What's the trick to simply making a second text frame? Here is the code. It gets hung up on the second "make text frame."

      set theRef to master spread "A-Master"
      		tell theRef
      			set theFrame to make text frame
      			tell theFrame
      				set geometric bounds to pageNumberBounds
      				set properties of text 1 to {applied font:"Arial", font style:"Bold",
      point size:8, justification:left}
      				set text 1 to auto page number
      				--Makes an auto MMYY date in te lower left corner
      				set myDateBox to make text frame
      				tell myDateBox
      					set geometric bounds to dateBounds
      					set properties of text 1 to {applied font:"Arial", font style:"Regular",
      point size:6, justification:left}
      					set text 1 to "08/03"
      				end tell
      			end tell
      		end tell
