Yeah, I could really do with it giving me some feedback as to where this
object is. Actually, I could...
... I just wrote a plugin for it. Use scCreatePlugin "","" (scCreatePlugin
on its own doesn't work from the message box like the dictionary suggests).
Then in the script I used

global gLastObject

on savingProperties pLongId, @pProperteis
   --> your code
   put "saving properties of" && pLongId into gLastObject
   put word -2 to -1 of gLastObject
   wait 0.01 millisec with messages
end savingProperties

----

Once I ran this it displayed which substack it was working on in the
message box and once it had failed the global showed me the last parameter
it had successfully accessed. Cool. But I still can't work out which
parameter of either that object (a standard text field) or the next (a
group with no behaviours or anything out of the ordinary as far as I can
tell). I'll come back to it tomorrow. It's silly o'clock now.
