My apologies to the list. As they say, RTFM (or online Help). I just 
realized on reading farther down in the Help page on which the 
operators are described that the answer was there all along. Now I 
get it.

For example:

    put "Fred" is among the items of "Adam,Fred,George"

returns true, as does:

    put "Fred" is among the words of "Adam Fred George"

MetaCard is tres cool!

Regards,

David
