To clarify my earlier post, This should work, according to the
Goodman book: do script "ViewHeader"
But, it gives an error instead.. In fact, none of the do script
commands work that I have tried.
I am using Word 98 (Classic) and running the AS script editor in X,
taking the data from Panorama in (Classic). In other words I am
running two Classic apps while in X and I am writing this in the X
version of the script editor.
