InDesign simple stuff

I'm just starting on AS and InDesign and I'm having a
small issue. All I want to do is create a text box
with 3 column with a s 12 pt gutter. Thats not hard. I
can't find anything in the ID dictionary that even
refers to gutters.

this is my script in Quark
make new text box at beginning of spread 1 of document
1 with properties {shape:rectangular,
bounds:{"9.625\"", "0.5\"", "10.5\"", "5.917\""}}
set columns of text box 1 of spread 1 of document 1
to 3
set gutter of text box 1 of spread 1 of document 1
to "12 pt"
set name of text box 1 of spread 1 of document 1 to
"Information" --names information box

what do I need to do in ID because the following isn't
working
tell page 1
set myTextFrame to make text frame with properties
{geometric bounds:{9.625, 0.5, 10.5, 5.917}, stroke
color:swatch "Black" of myDocument, stroke weight:0,
text column:3, gutter:"12 pt", label:"information",
contents:x}
