Illustrator Scripting Help Needed

Hi there,

I'm trying to write a script, part of which involves deleting everything on the artboard to the right of a particular point. The chunk below looks right to me but does absolutely nothing - not even an error message.

tell application "Adobe Illustrator 10"
tell front document
delete (every path item whose (item 1 of position) > 200)
end tell
end tell

I was expecting to have to delete all path items, then all text path items etc etc in turn. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or alternatively suggest a better way of doing this?

Any hints or tips would be much appreciated!

Thanks
Rob
