Let me say it again: Thanks for all your help, Jay. I've figured out the crash, and I'll detail the process for any other people who might be as easily confused as I.

I took out those selection lines (not sure what they were for myself) and put back the on error sections (but not the color-coding ones). I started a new test pub in InDesign, with just one frame, one sentence in the frame with a parenthetical, the one paragraph style (applied to the sentence) and the one character style (unapplied). Running this shut down InDesign.

I commented out all the try and on error sections. I opened the Event Log and ran the script on the same test pub. It seems to have operated normally (count of stories:1, count of paragraphs:1) up to the point of getting the applied paragraph style. Then InDesign drops out.

The Event Log listed:

get applied paragraph style of paragraph 1 of story 1 of story 1 of document "scripttester3"

as the step before the crash. I had to look at it three times, but I eventually noticed that it was mentioning the story twice. So, first I tried taking out the "tell story j" line, with its matching "end tell". That got an error, but no crash. So I put those back, and took "of story j" off the end of the "set myParaName..." line. Now it works.

I'll add in more error-checking, then test on a more varied pub, but I think I've got it.
