I have another question pertaining to individual tabs in the excel 
workbook itself.  I looked through the link on appscript that you sent 
and maybe I missed it and if I did my apologies.

In windows I'm able to to do the following in order to get data from 
different worksheets within the excel workbook

worksheet1= workbook.Worksheets('Testdata')
worksheet2= workbook.Worksheets('Items')

I have workbook defined as:
workbook = MacTypes::Alisas.path(/insert path here/workbookname.xls)

This should be the last question I have.  Thanks for again for the help
