Applescript Creating a graphic rule with multiple anchors

Question

What is the syntax for creating a rule such as you would create with the pen tool in CS2/CS3?
I am trying to place a rule around a group of graphic cboxees. I have the anchors for the rule, determined by examining the bounds of the rectangles, but I can't determine the syntax to create the rule.
I'd think something like:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell document 1
tell page 1
make graphic line at beginning with properties {label:"ruleout", stroke color:"Black", stroke weight:2, entire path:{20, 20, 80, 80, 100, 100, 150, 150}}
where the anchors are y,x in the entire path property. I've been trying to get the properties of a line I did create with the pen tool, but can't find the anchors buried anywhere within the properties.
Anyone have a tip?

Hi Tom,
The entire path property is a property of a path, not of a graphic line (or other page item). What you want is probably more like this:
set myGraphicLine to make graphic line with properties {label:"ruleout", stroke color:"Black", stroke weight:2}
set entire path of path 1 of myGraphicLine to {{20, 20}, {80, 80}, {100, 100}, {150, 150}}
Note that myGraphicLine is now a polygon (because it has more than two points).
Thanks,
Ole
