Well, I guess I just joined the ranks of the unsubscribable if that's a
word.
I hadn't received any digest for a while so I caught up to this thread
on the web archive.
Then I resubscribed.

Besides for trying to be funny, I was hinting at doing things like this
with the image bounds.

tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
set horizontal measure to points
set vertical measure to points
tell page 1
set border to 50
set px to bounds of image 1 of picture box 1
set bd to bounds of picture box 1 as list
set x to (item 4 of bd) as text
set x to (characters 1 thru -4 of x) as text
set y to (item 2 of bd) as text
set y to (characters 1 thru -4 of y) as text
set z to (item 3 of px)
set myscale to ((x) - (y) - 2 * border) / (z) * 100
set scale of image 1 of picture box 1 to {myscale, myscale}
set offset of image 1 of picture box 1 to {0, border}
end tell
end tell
end tell
