Thanks, Bertil, for the excellent responses yesterday.
Just one further question:
When using the open command, is there a way to error check to see if it
successfully opened?
In other words:
result = baOpenFile(...)
put result
-- 0
But...
result = open xyz
-- errors

Yes, let Buddy take care of opening the app as well:
appString = theApp theArgs theDoc
OK = baRunProgram(appString , Normal, false)
Put OK
-- 33
Look up RunProgram in Buddy for more info.
Here is the list of error codes from Buddy's help:

If the return is less than 32, then an error
Brilliant, Bertil. Very much appreciated!

Thanks.
By the way, these arguments (/A page=n) only work in Acrobat/Reader 6.x.
I've tried them with Acro 4 5, and it opened the document, but ignored the page
number.
I think there was a benign error message too, in one of the older versions.

Yes, I knew that. Fortunately, I work for a company where *the whole
world* has Acrobat 6, XP, IE6...etc. Bliss.
On previous versions, as long as it fails without crashing, that's good
enough for my purposes.
