| G'day Ron.
Thanks heaps for helping, and the concrete examples, but it's not working for me.
One thing I've learnt from your example tho, is that two bindings are required. I presume the theScrollView is to the first layer, Scroll View - Text View (mine is theNewColorsScrollView, and the theTextView is to the third layer, Text View (mine is theNewColorsView).
I had no idea from my reading that a second binding was a requirement. Shane's got me by the short & curlies with trying to decipher his suggestions, nothing I've tried has worked.
Shane's Explorer strips any pipes from 'origin'.
My code (from yours)…
set currentScrollPosition to the theNewColorsScrollView's contentView()'s |bounds|()'s origin()
tell theNewColorsView to scrollPoint_(currentScrollPosition)
I still get an error 'variable currentScrollPosition is not defined'.

Brian, I built a small sample app that just has a TextView in it, with associated ScrollView. Here's code that shows how to do the translation, and it seems to work fine in this simple app:
property theScrollView : missing value property theTextView : missing value
....
on applicationDidFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
repeat with i from 1 to 40 tell theTextView to insertText_("This is some new text..." & return) end
-- NSPoint currentScrollPosition=[[theScrollView contentView] bounds].origin;
set currentScrollPosition to the theScrollView's contentView()'s |bounds|()'s |origin|()
-- [[theScrollView documentView] scrollPoint:currentScrollPosition];
tell theTextView to scrollPoint_({0,0}) -- scrolls to the top (for testing next line)
tell theTextView to scrollPoint_(currentScrollPosition) -- scrolls to the bottom
end applicationWillFinishLaunching_

Thanks for your concrete example. Unfortunately it still generates the same error. However, your code is completely different from what I expected the correct code to be, so food for thought.
I'm going to have to try and follow Shane's advice once again, but unfortunately when Shane uses terms like 'clue' and 'pretty obvious' he's speaking from someone who has this damn stuff running through his veins, whereas to me, those terms mean I'm once again going to have to group my way through a bloody blinding snow storm, usually without success.
It's no wonder that it seems very few people actually take up programming in ASObjC, there's so many hurdles! And so very, very few concrete examples of conversion.
