John, this line is your problem. You're setting inItem to the value of
gList[i]. Try this:
global gList
on addItem inItem
totalCount = gList.count
repeat with i = 1 to totalCount
if gList[i] = inItem then
alert "Item already exists."
return VOID
else
gList.add(inItem)
-- take out the exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end
HTH.
Cordially,
