Anne,

Shapefile polylines are already a line layer.  In FME the geometry type 
for a line shapefile will be shape_polyline (or in older FME versions 
shape_arc).  Both of those FME types should be interchangable for a 
shape line file.

Polylines are not the same as polygons (FME type shape_polygon) if that 
is what you are expecting.  Take a look at the original shapefile and 
you'll see this.
