XPress Bug or user stupidity?

I have this script (OS 9.2.2, Quark Xpress 4.11)

set m to make text box at end with properties {name:("code" & i),
color:"none", bounds:{((kloc + 43) as string) & "mm", ((((i - 1) * 12.5) +
41) as text) & "mm", ((kloc + 46) as string) & "mm", ((((i - 1) * 12.5) +
49) as text) & "mm"}}

set runaround of m to none runaround
set story 1 of m to desc

tell m
set font of story 1 to "Agenda-BoldCondensed"
set leading of story 1 to 6.0 -- Keep at 6.0
set kern of story 1 to -8
set justification of story 1 to centered
set size of story 1 to 5
end tell


It creates a text box in the right place, puts the contents of desc in the
text box, sets the font to Agenda and the size to 5 points and the
justification to left and the leading to 6.

It doesn't do the kerning though and I can't work out why. No error messages
or anything. Just doesn't do it.

Anyone else experienced this or tell me what I've missed?

Thanks

Steve
