Yes, thank you Nigel.  In fact I already have a handler to query all 
properties and get a list of records and so it looks as if I'll have 
to modify that or introduce new handlers for each property; luckily 
there aren't too many of them.

I'd hoped never to bother again with AppleScript, especially after 
the destruction Apple have wrought in the past few years, but this 
time someone is actually offering to pay for my pain.
