I haven't heard of multiple insert, but the name suggests this would be 
creating multiple brand-new frames of some sort.

I'm interested in taking a fully developed object, such as text frame 
with text, image frame with image, and copying/pasting that to many pages.

I also think that having copy and paste functions in Scripter is 
potentially useful for other things.
