Your suggestion didn't replace the selected text, but a replace
command did the trick since the lines in question are always the same
text.
How do I set the insertion point cursor at the beginning of line X?
Thanks!

Successfully recorded a series of Replace tasks. Now need to do
something along the lines of:
move insertion point to beginning of line 4
select the 4 lines after the current location
delete selected text
insert text "blah, blah, blah"
You mean in sequence? Try this:
set selection to lines 4 thru 7 of front document
set selection to "blah blah"
