Ethan,
There are subtle differences between Quark 4 and 5 (and 6 for that matter), but the vast majority of your old stuff will still work.
The tracking properties is the same.

tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
tell text box 1 of page 1 of document 1
set x to track of story 1 as number
set x to x + 10
set track of story 1 to x
--return properties of story 1
end tell
set currFile to ((file path of document 1 as text) & "done")
save document 1 in file currFile without template
end tell

To get properties uncomment the return properites line.
Try changing it and seeing what you get...
return properties of story 1
return properties
return properties of paragraph 2
return properties of word 3 of paragraph 1
....



} The software box said 'Requires Windows 95, or better.'
} So I bought a Macintosh.
