Carlos:
Check out our Workflow Automation with AppleScript Training CD at
www.tecsoft.com/applescriptcd.html. It is designed specifically to teach
the skills you wish to acquire. The CD is based upon our three day
hands-on training class, covers scripting QuarkXPress, features 13
hands-on exercises (two of which cover QXP), and includes powerful QXP
script examples. You can get it at the special price of $99 until this
Friday, thereafter $149.
Unfortunately we can't sell it to you unless you purchase on-line. Which
BTW I've been doing safely, securely, and confidently for over 4 years
now without any problem. None of the folks who done e-commerce with us
have ever had any problems also.
BTW - I think Shirley Hopkins' AppleScripting QuarkXPress is a good
investment as well.
Best regards,
John Thorsen Jr.

That's what I want the book for.

Can you also tell me were I can find some similar workflow examples to LEARN
