Ken,

what are your problems with 'moving'? This works for me:
---
set y1 to "100 pt"
set x1 to "100 pt"
set y2 to "200 pt"
set x2 to "200 pt"

tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 3.32"
tell page (name of page 1 of current box)
make text box at beginning with properties {bounds:{y1, x1, y2, x2}}
end tell
move text box 1 to before current box
end tell
---
