I was thinking about this while shaving this morning and a couple of thoughts popped into my head:

1. Are you sure you want to delete a line of text and not a paragraph? A line is a very odd choice unless you happen to have one paragraph per line.

2. My "try" statement won't protect against two deletes in the same line, except in the odd situation where the two of them are both in the last line of the story, because only then would the second attempt to delete the same line fail. Rather, if you have two delete instructions in the same line then the script will delete the line after as well as the line you intended to delete -- that's the way that object references work.

So, if this is a real possibility, you need to add code to check for it.
