Is it possible to script applying a text frame & text to a master page and then apply the master page to all pages in a document?

We use Indesign to produce technical documents of a fixed format.

I would like to add a header to the master page of all our documents showing
" Page number ? of ? pages
  File name ??
  revised ??/??/???? "
and then apply the master page to all pages. Is this possible in a script?

If so the object syntax would be appreciated.

No problems coding basic VB but using the Indesign objects is a completely new field to me.

All the scripts I have produced have used snippets of object code from the forum and I could not find any thing relating to master pages

Regards

Ian Eagland
