Talking to Display boxes

The auto-generated script to generate this plot

Graph Builder(
	Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ), Overlay( :sex ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 1 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 2 ) ) ),
	SendToReport( Dispatch( {}, "X title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "xxx" )} ) )
)

- Why "X title"?

- What is a robust way to talk later with the X axis title.

current Report()[TextEditBox(3)]

seems to work - but is there something with "X axis" included in the command?

Not sure if there are any "direct" ways of accessing that axis title, but you can use Dispatch (which to my knowledge should be avoided...)

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

gb = dt << Graph Builder(
	Size(520, 176),
	Show Control Panel(0),
	Variables(X(:height), Y(:weight), Overlay(:sex)),
	Elements(Points(X, Y, Legend(13)), Smoother(X, Y, Legend(14)))
);

Report(gb) << Dispatch(
	{},
	"X title",
	TextEditBox,
	{Text Color("Red"), Set Base Font("Heading"), Font Color(3)}
);

yes, right, these 2 considerations have led me to write the question.
