Difference between text & generic box

Does anyone know the difference between a 'text' and a 'generic' box? Here
is the script that I am using;

tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
tell page 6
set x to (name of every text box whose name begins with "de") --
returns 5 items
set y to (name of every generic box whose name begins with "de")
-- returns 4 items
end tell
end tell
end tell

I have a Quark document with several 'text' boxes on it. However using the
above code returns different results. As a side note, I also see that the
text box that is the difference between the two has a unique id of 0. How
would that happen and could that be the problem?

Later,
Guy
