Thanks again, all!
The solution, as pointed out by Andrew, is:
set the width of column name column of the list view options of window x to y
Here's where my error appeared. I didn't know that I had go through the class "list view options" to get to the class "columns" and I had spent a good amount of time pouring through the Finder dictionary and the AS Reference Manual. How can one tell when it's necessary to use one class to call another?

Ah, that would be nice! Unfortunately, although the statement:
set x to the properties of the list view options of window 1
does work, reversing the process doesn't:
set the properties of the list view options of window 2 to x
There also appears to be no way to sent the window to the global default which would be even better because then changing the global default would change all the windows. Matching the global default options doesn't appear sufficient to establish it as abiding by the global default. Thoughts?
Thanks for the help!
