I am trying to automate a task with the help of Keyboard Maestro.
I start in another program. I fill in the pieces of the Find dialogue window.
That works fine. I can start searching and replacing in the last BBEdit
document. So the Find dialogue "remembers that".
Now I want to start the search and replace from the start of that document.

Hey Robert,
It seems to me you're making this harder than it needs to be.
If I understand correctly you're wanting to do a multi-pass find/replace
operation.
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text window's text
replace "MATCH" using "REPLACE" options {search mode:grep, case
sensitive:false, starting at top:true}
replace "MATCH" using "REPLACE" options {search mode:grep, case
sensitive:false, starting at top:true}
replace "MATCH" using "REPLACE" options {search mode:grep, case
sensitive:false, starting at top:true}
replace "MATCH" using "REPLACE" options {search mode:grep, case
sensitive:false, starting at top:true}
end tell
end tell
Note that the script itself starts from the top of the document.
To simply move the cursor to the top:
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text window
select insertion point before its text
end tell
end tell
