Richard--

Send Apple Computer a message. Tell them that AppleScript methods viewed in the Dictionary need to be tied to the objects they apply to, as they are in Visual Basic.

When you look at the Page object in Visual Basic's object browser, you can see the Page.Move method, which is defined as follows:



Function Move([LocationOptions As idLocationOptions], [index], [BindingOptions As idBindingOptions]) As Object 




You can then look up idLocationOptions and idBindingOptions to see what all of the possible arguments to the method can be.

I tried to associate the methods with the objects in the Scripting Guide (and, in fact, page 159 of the Guide does note the options for moving a page<g>), but it's impossible to tell from the Dictionary.

Again, tell Apple. It is absolutely retarded to have to guess which events apply to which objects--but AppleScript dictionary construction provides no way to make the link.

Thanks,

Ole
