I was trying to avoid iteration, for the sake of speed. Assuming there are
no overset boxes, the script as written will only send one event to ID to do
most of the work.

OTOH, it could have been written:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
 tell document 1
  -- following should return true where overset
  set theFrames to overflows of parent text frame of character -1 of
(stories whose length > 0)
  set thePages to ""
  set theSpreads to ""
  repeat with i from 1 to count of theFrames
   if item i of theFrames = true then
...


to be a bit more obvious. but I was avoiding overflows because I know there
has been the odd glitch with it, and because I was hoping to come up with a
simple variation that would also handle table cells.
