Thanks JJ,

I tried this and the scripts do not compile however if I change the name of
Quark in the tell statement to the actual name of QuarkXpress the script
compiles.


tell application "Finder"
set Quark to name of application file id "XPR3"
end tell

--"QuarkXpress 4.1"
tell application Quark
tell document 1
set xDocMeasure to horizontal measure
set yDocMeasure to vertical measure
end tell
end tell

Is there something I'm missing here? When I first saw this I thought it
might be too good to be true.


Another question for this list. In all the years of Applescript, is there
still no native way to physically delete a file without having to move it to
the trash first and empty or use third party OSAX.

Regards,
