How do I set a drop shadow and it's parameters to a selected object?
Where can I actually find a list of names of all possible parameters than can be used in VBS?

I'm looking to accomplish something like this:

Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application")
Set myObject = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1)
myObject.Effects.Transparency.DropShadow=enable
myObject.Effects.Transparency.DropShadow.mode=normal
myObject.Effects.Transparency.DropShadow.opacity=33%
