Perfect - and that solves my last problem.  The "at after" makes
sense, it's just another case where "English-like" syntax can catch
you because you'd never actually write or speak that way.

It's impressive that even the OmniOutliner programmers don't know it's
possible (although, I guess, a lot of that stuff is handled
internally to Cocoa Scripting).

Thanks again to everyone who responded.
