| Thanks again Philip,
Just when I almost figured out what you were telling me in the first example you came up with this.
Works perfectly.
This portion of a script is meant only for windows with a list view so other views are not a problem.
The end result is a script that I use to deal with all windows of all applications. Places, for example "mail", windows where and what size I want them. The Finder windows, if they are off screen, are placed on screen and sized to fit with the view at the top of the window.

The reason is I want the window to scroll to the top rather that select some random point. Then when I click the zoom button the display will show the top viewable portion of the window.
Seems like a problem for UI scripting because it looks like the Finder doesn't have any specific support for the needed facility. And actually, I think there may be a problem using UI scripting to click the mouse at a specific point (didn't work properly on 10.4 and I haven't tried it since then).
Well, seems like a click might not be necessary:
tell application "Finder" to activate tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Finder" tell scroll area 1 of window 1 set value of every scroll bar to 0 end tell end tell
