Rubbish hexadecimal values....

My this is embarrassing.

First time I attempt to script Quark in my new workplace on laptop running 10.8.4, Quark 8.5.1, and I'm getting nonsense properties, e.g. left point:«data FPMS486893001FBB7D00».

I have told Applescript to open in 32 bit. Is there something else I should do that I've forgotten? (apart from upgrading Quark, let's not even go there).

Have to tell you that InDesign scripts are running like a dream..

If anyone can help.... thanks!.
