Bill: You're right... there's no special "collect for output" verb in the
dictionary, but it's still very do-able:
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress"
get file path of every image
end tell
Will produce a list of paths to the image files in your document. All you
have to do now is to loop through the list and tell the Finder to duplicate
these files to wherever you like. An empty picture box returns a null file
path, so you'll want to skip them.
