When you inquire about a line, the value returned is the string of text found on the specified line number of the specified textual region. For example, if you define a textual region and put text into the region as follows:

 

textual region Manual size 400 400 at position 10 10

    insert "This is line one\nThis is line two"

 

and later specify in the program:

 

response to ...

    copy textual line 1 from Manual to CurrentLine

 

ESL copies the following string value to CurrentLine:

 

"This is line one"

 

Note that the string does not include the newline sequence (\n).
