Thanks for the insight, Jackie. I'm usually pretty good about
avoiding the use of reserved words. This was a case where I thought
the engine actually needed to see the reserved word without the
quotes. After all, that's how it worked with previous versions of
the engine. Anyway, live and learn.
Thanks,

Here's a good head scratcher. The recent thread about upgrading
to 2.7.4 was incentive for me to finally do so. Everything went
smoothly and I made various personal changes I prefer such as
adding the keyboard shortcut command-E to the Script Editor so I
can easily open the Variable Watcher during debugging. Then when
I used it, only in certain scripts, I got the error:
Keys: Parameter is not a variable
It appears the offending line in my script was:
set the decorations of stack "•Standards•" to title
If I make "title" a literal, as in:
set the decorations of stack "•Standards•" to "title"
I have no more problems, for the moment.
Anybody got any ideas?
I get this same error all the time, and Ken finally cleared it up
for me the other day. In your example, "title" is a reserved word
in Revolution, and without the quotes it is seen by the debugger as
an invalid variable name. Decorations are supposed to be in quotes
anyway; not putting them in quotes is handled in a forgiving
fashion by the engine in some cases but not in all.
In my case, I was using a variable called tExt (for storing the
extension of a file name) and the engine saw it as the word "text"
-- also a reserved word and therefore not a variable.
Gotta watch those.
