[Framers] ExtendScript does not set Property ival

[Klaus Daube]

Sorry folks, the whole issue is a Hornberger Schiessen (wild goose chase):

The error messages in the Data Browser are irrelevant for the positive result. The 
script successfully finds 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th and refuses to find 3Rd - hence RegEx 
search is OK and Consider Case is observed:

    oDoc.ScrollToText(oTRsaved);

var oDoc = app.ActiveDoc, OK, oTR;

 oTR = FindSomething (oDoc, "\\d[st|nd|rd|th]");  // text by regex

if (oTR == undefined) {
    Alert ("not found");
  }

main ();

I do not know yet why my initial script did not work - have to take a very close look 
to the differences to this working script.

Thnaks for Your patience
