Kerry,
If ths is your list, then you are definitely having a "senior
moment". As you've defined it here, your list is both a property
list and a linear list (the first item is a formed as a property
list, and the other three are linear). So, what does the list really
look like, is it more like this:
theList = [#roster:[[#name:"Tab"], [#name:"Jacob"], [#name:"Roy"],
[#name:"Irv"]]]
If so, then you can do something like this:
theRosterList = theList[#roster]
nItems = count(theRosterList)
repeat with i = 1 to nItems
thisListEntry = theRosterList[i]
theName = thisListEntry[#name]
-- do whatever you want this theName
end repat
