Hi Dieter,

I give a "tip": in Indesign, create a new document, create your object on the first page (in this case: a rectangle WITH a border) and run this script:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	tell document 1
		tell page 1
			get properties of rectangle 1
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

Now, in the result window, you have something like this:
   stroke weight:3.0

You can apply these properties in your script:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set myDoc to active document
	tell page 1 of myDoc
		set myrectangle to make rectangle with properties �
			{geometric bounds:{"35 mm", "135 mm", "100 mm", "197.3 mm"} �
				, stroke color:swatch "Black" of myDoc, stroke weight:3}
	end tell
end tell

Oli.
