This should be so simple. How do I tell what is the view of a Finder Window, List, Column, Icon?

It's right in the Finder's dictionary:

tell application "Finder"
current view of front window
end tell

current view (icon view/list view/column view/group view/flow view) : the current view for the container window

BTW, what is "group view"?  I tried to set a window to that, and got an error saying it's an incorrect enumerated value for that property.
