Update:

            ..had some success by writing a simple script that accesses pathPoints then aligns them with the manually chosen, highest point (highest Y value):

var firstPath       = app.activeDocument.pathItems[1];                                 

var countOfPoints = firstPath.pathPoints.length;

var index           = 0;                                                                               

for(index=0; index<=countOfPoints; index++)

{

var currentPoint        = firstPath.pathPoints[index];                                            
currentAnchorList     = currentPoint.anchor;
TopY                         = app.activeDocument.pathItems[1].pathPoints[0].anchor[1];
currentPoint.anchor = Array(currentAnchorList[0],TopY);                                

}

...it works but is not finnshed.

It shows however that existing pathPoints can be edited/manipulated in almost every way, except there does NOT appear to be any way to perform the simpler task of selecting pathPoints or anchor points?

The closest i've found is: ..pathItems.selected = true;  ..but this does Not work when applied to pathPoints\Anchors, IE:

app.activeDocument.pathItems[1].pathPoints[index].anchor.selected = true;   ..AND,..

app.activeDocument.pathItems[1].pathPoints[index].selected = true;  

...but both fail to select any points.

1) please reply if you know how to select pathPoints and\or anchor points?

thanks again,

J
