InDesign scripting conundrum No 1

Thanks to those who tried my previous snippet and verified that it indeed
worked on their systems. However, I'm hanged if I know why it crashes my
InDesign application every time.

These two snippets work fine for me on OS 9.2.2, but crash-quits InDesign on
OS X 1.1.3 using AppleScript 1.8.1 (and 1.8.2b3):

tell application "InDesign 2.0"
tell document 1
set theStyle to {make paragraph style with properties
{name:"NewStyle", font:"Verdana"}}
set applied paragraph style of paragraph 1 of text frame 1
to paragraph style "NewStyle"
end tell
end tell

-----

tell application "InDesign 2.0"
tell document 1
set theColor to {make color with properties
{name:"NewColor", color value:{20, 20, 60, 0}}}
set fill color of rectangle 1 to swatch "NewColor"
end tell
end tell

------

The fact that it works on OS 9.2.2 suggests that the script is fine.. (?)
If anyone could offer any clues to why this is not working for me I would be
so grateful...

Best regards,

David Lloyd
