ok, ive got he below, which works well (can it be improved upon Shane)?

The problem I have run into now is if I use "Black" in my document it will not show in the list as a used swatch because it is in the _NotUsed list.

------------
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
	activate
	delete unused swatches of document 1
	set _NotUSED to {"None", "Paper", "Black", "Registration"}
	set _UpDatedList to get (name of swatches of document 1 whose name is not in _NotUSED)
	set _NewList to choose from list _UpDatedList with prompt "Choose"
end tell
--------
