re: "� pretty long script to just find one tint"

I agree--the way that 2.x handles tint scripting is not ideal. We're working on improvements.<g>

re: handler

You don't necessarily have to use a handler--it's just easier than pasting the routine in-line every time. But, yes, I think something like this is the only way to find a tint, and I'm sure that there are other cases where we need to do something similar.

re: "- it is still mystery to me when to use "object reference"

In this example, I used object reference because I saw that the tint was being returned as "item x of list y" when I really wanted a reference to "tint x of document y". Using an object reference gave me what I wanted. You can see things like this if you use a script editor that can debug, such as Late Night's Script Debugger.

Most of the time, I use object reference when I want to assign a text object to an object variable.

Thanks,

Ole
