Does anybody know how to make a BBEdit document become the frontmost/selected document in its window?

The following code brings a specific window to the front, but this window may have multiple documents and the last line does nothing (not even generate an error).

set DocumentTitle to "Presentation " & SlideID
tell application "BBEdit"
try
set theCurrentDocument to first document whose name = DocumentTitle
on error -- No document with this title exists
try
set theCurrentDocument to make new document with properties {text:EntryText, name:DocumentTitle}
on error errmsg number errnum
display dialog "Error creating new BBEdit window" & return & errmsg
return
end try
end try


        tell window of theCurrentDocument to activate
   tell theCurrentDocument to activate -- does nothing
end tell


I believe the target of an activate command is either the application or a window, David.

Try replacing the last line in the tell block with:

------
select theCurrentDocument
------

---
