Before I waste any more time on this, is it not possible to use scripting to set "Start" and "End" of stroke? (I'm trying to put arrowheads on graphic lines.)

A quick search in my own reference data for 'arrowhead' shows CS4 has an enumeration ArrowHead, which can be applied as properties to Button.leftLineEnd, Button.rightLineEnd, ChangeObjectPreference.leftLineEnd, ChangeObjectPreference.rightLineEnd, FindObjectPreference.leftLineEnd, FindObjectPreference.rightLineEnd, FormField.leftLineEnd, FormField.rightLineEnd, GraphicLine.leftLineEnd, GraphicLine.rightLineEnd, Group.leftLineEnd, Group.rightLineEnd, ObjectStyle.leftLineEnd, ObjectStyle.rightLineEnd, Oval.leftLineEnd, Oval.rightLineEnd, PageItem.leftLineEnd, PageItem.rightLineEnd, PageItemDefault.leftLineEnd, PageItemDefault.rightLineEnd, Polygon.leftLineEnd, Polygon.rightLineEnd, Rectangle.leftLineEnd, Rectangle.rightLineEnd, TextFrame.leftLineEnd and TextFrame.rightLineEnd.

Sounds like it is possible. Perhaps you confused "Stroke" (which is not an object) for "GraphicLine" (which is).

My current reference of choice is JS CS4 Help for Windows <http://www.jongware.com/binaries/idcs4js_chm.zip>, the CHM (Windows Help format) version of my ESTK2-to-HTML files. It opens very fast, has all hyperlinks of the original ESTK2 files plus my added set of "relations" between objects, and has a Free Text Search.
Me, I cannot do anymore without.
