It occurred to me that one might want to get this same effect of top and bottom
rules even with a single frame.
One approach might be to revert to leaving out the grouping and ungrouping
commands in the script and do this manually,
but this version will detect if more than one object is selected, and if so,
skip grouping/ungrouping. It's an interesting
effect perhaps fairly useful to some users, especially if you center the text
vertically and use some Text Distances.
It's certainly a lot quicker than doing this manually. If you only want a line
at the top or bottom, it's easy enough
to delete the unneeded line.
Even with a single object, you still need to select the top rule and move it to
the bottom level after the script runs.
Note that this version uses the unGroupObjects() command as fixed by Jean in
the latest 1.5.xsvn revision. Edit this to
unGroupObject() if you're using something older.

Select one or more objects.
Run this script. Top and bottom horizontal rules are
created.
Afterward, select the top rule. Using Properties send this to bottom level.
Now you should be able to select individual objects.
