Greg,

replace 'selection' with 'current box':
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 6.5"
  activate
  move current box to end of page 2
end tell
---
And, when the selected box is on page 1 of a facing-pages layout,
make sure that there is a page 3. Else, the box will end up on the
pasteboard, way to the right of its origin (by the width of a page).

Regards,
Hans
