FMPro to Quark script box bounds problem

I have a script that moves classified ad records form FMP into a Quark document. The script is a bit of a klunker because it uses anchored text boxes, (white text in a black box) that have to be cut and paste into the text flow. However it does work in OS 9.2.2 and we use it every week.
Now I am tying to move the script to OS 10.1.5 and classic OS 9.2.2 using Quark 5.0.1.
At the part of the script that increases the size of the anchored text boxes that have text overflow, the "get bounds of text box as list" returns "+data FXVM00000000;, +data FXHM00000000;, +data FXVM000E6666;, +data FXHM00900000;" instead of the usual measurements list.
I need to add .126\" to the hight of the boxes with text overflow.
Is there a scripting addition that I am missing that would make these measurements appear normal?
