Wading a bit deeper into Lua... It seems like using the GUID would cut down a lot of repetitive typing work. How do I determine the GUID of a unit or reference point?

You can use GetUnit/GetReferencePoint function from the script console - example:

var = ScenEdit_GetReferencePoint({side='NATO',name='RP-2194'})
print(var.guid)

or (for units only) go to menu 'Editor'->'SBR'-> 'Generate Template'. The saved XML file contains guids of all units in the scenario.
