Max--

"TextLine" became "Line" and "Line" became "GraphicLine" as part of the Great Terminology Unification of 2003 (though a sect of heretical VBScripters continue to worship "TextLine" and "Line"--thereby dooming themselves to continued worship of the 2.x version of the Deity).

In unifying the terms, we had to make various compromises in order to avoid reserved terms in the various scripting languages. That's the reason we chose the AppleScript version of the terms for the above objects. In some cases, there's no way around having a difference--JavaScript reserves the word "delete", for example, which means that "delete" (the AppleScript and VBScript method name) is "remove" in that language.

"Real World InDesign" is begin updated, for sure!<g>

Thanks,

Ole
