Actually managed to answer a few of my own questions by having a good look
through the PM scripting links I posted way back in my first email. (BTW,
did you check those links out? Hansen's book is out of print, so he's made
it available as a download:
http://www.hhansen.com/pmscripting/PMScript.pdf
if you've not already got it.)
Anyway, here's the answer to your timeout woes, and it does indeed have to
do with trying to tell PmScript to do... well, anything really. It
transpires that PmScript isn't scriptable:

Not that this matters for operators and statements (which is what PmScript
handles), since that's what you're using AS for anyhow. It's the layout
commands (the 'Print...' family and 'Close' commands are the ones you need)
which are what's important. And you send these to PM using the 'do script'
command. Which I think is pretty much what I was trying to say several
emails ago only I couldn't remember what stuff was called back then.
Now, if I can find a list of parameter values for the Print... commands, I
should be able to figure out exactly how I did it myself.
