I just jumped on this bandwagon. When I realized that afterOpen fires before the first window appears, I tried opening one in my event handler:

//DESCRIPTION: Start-up Script

#target indesign 
#targetengine 'onOpen'

(function() { 
  app.eventListeners.add("afterOpen", afterOpen); 
   
  function afterOpen(myEvent) { 
    myEvent.target.windows.add(); 
  } 
}()) 


This worked. The window was drawn. But when I tried to close the window, InDesign CS4 crashed. To be thorough, I shall now go through the process again to make sure it is repeatable ... Yes it is. I just tried again with a different document -- happens it was one that had to be converted from CS3. Same thing happened. One window only which on closing caused the crash.

Then, restarting CS4 caused the document to be recovered with two windows.

Looks like APID is the way to go if you want to do anything useful with a document when it opens.
