Re: set the textColor
Neither with "floozy programming languages, nor with plain, simple floozies. ;-) Let's just say I was a bit sleepy after 3 weeks holiday away from LiveCode: just about as cheap as excuses go, but cannot right now think of a better one.

Re: set the textColor
I take that back. You are trying to set the textColor of a string literal which of course you cannot do. Line n of old "fPROC" has to resolve to something before the textColor is set. But of course you can only do that to the field or a chunk of text in the field.

Re: set the textColor
you are forcing the statement in parenthesis to resolve, so it becomes set the tectColor of n to "red" which of course is nonsense.

Re: set the textColor
For the same reason you can do put 17 into B but cannot do put 17 into (B) (My over-simplified way of thinking of it is .. B is a container - you can put values into it or take them out. (B) is just a value - you can only take it out. Similarly, line XOUNT of fld "f" is a textchunk - you can set its textcolor but (line Xount of fld "F") is just a value Alex.
