Opening a Quark file in InDesign CS

Hello all, I’m getting a weird error that I don’t quite understand. I’ve just started a script that basically opens a Quark file in InDesign CS, does a little reformatting, and saves it as a InDesign file. The code I have so far is below:

tell application "Finder"
	set locOfQuarkFiles to folder "Path:to:Quark:Files:"
	
	repeat with i from 1 to count files of locOfQuarkFiles
		set currFile to file i of locOfQuarkFiles
		convertToInDesign(currFile)
		
	end repeat	
end tell

on convertToInDesign(currFile)
	tell application "InDesign CS"
		set currDoc to open currFile
	end tell
end convertToInDesign

As I see it, this basic script should just open the files in InDesign. However I get an error that says: “Finder got an error: Can’t continue convertToInDesign.” I don’t really understand what this means or how to fix it. I would great appreciate any help. Thanks.

Does this work?

set locOfQuarkFiles to "Path:to:Quark:Files:"

tell application "Finder"
	repeat with i from 1 to (count files of alias locOfQuarkFiles)
		set currFile to (file i of alias locOfQuarkFiles) as alias
		my convertToInDesign(currFile)
	end repeat
end tell

on convertToInDesign(currFile) 
   tell application "InDesign CS" 
      set currDoc to open currFile 
   end tell 
end convertToInDesign

Yup, that works great. Thank you very much. In fact, I played with it a little, and my original scriot works if I just put “my” in front of the handler name. Thank you for your help
