My GUESS is that ID's Select function is not returning a Indesign.selection, try this:

msgbox(typename(objIDApp.Select (objCurDoc.TextFrames.Item("one"))))

and see what IDApp.Select is returning. My GUESS is that it's going to be a type of page item, like a Rectangle or TextBox.

The PageItems collection does exactly this, the doco says that it returns a PageItem, but it doesn't, it returns a type of PageItem, eg a Rectangle or TextBox.
