Dave:

Thanks for replying.

Yes, the code is within a "tell application" block.

I've done some additional testing since posting this. I wrote a tiny script that looks like this (please assume that all abbreviations are expanded in the script):

tell app "indesign"
tell doc 1
set myframes to every text frame of page 1
repeat with i in myframes
return contents of i
end repeat
end tell
end tell

I ran this script with a single document open, with a single page created, with a single text frame with some text in it.

In the results window I got the following information: "text frame id 148 of page id 123 pf spread id 118..." etc.

I admit to being still wet behind the ears with both Applescript and InDesign, but I am asking for the contents and I am getting a description of the object. I am puzzled, to say the least.
