Wayne,

Thanks for your help on this.  I have one more question.    Is there an
easy way to always get the last line of the "summary window"?
I have everything else done I just keep getting the first line of the
summary window rather than the last.

This macro gets the values from the first line of a "Summary" window:

   selectWindow("Summary");
   lines = split(getInfo(), "\n");
   headings = split(lines[0], "\t");
   values = split(lines[1], "\t");
   for (i=0; i<headings.length; i++)
      print(headings[i]+": "+values[i]);
