Rich, thanks for the "select" tip.

I have a difficult time getting our BBEdit users to change the behavior of
their windows so I am trying to work with the application's defaults. i do
target documents whenever i can, but i have had difficulty figuring out how
to iterate through all the documents in a project, since "item" is not
supported.
