Because the point was to demonstrate different script lines, some of
which work and one of which doesn't - but which to my simple mind should
have all worked.
(and a couple of kind people explained why that one was different :-)
It was not a "real" fragment of code - in that case I would indeed have
simply set the vis of tName.
Thanks
Alex.

Why aren't you setting the vis of tName?

OK, this code produces an error - but I can't see why (and I worry about that

I have a field inside a group inside a group ....,
and the following code :
on mouseup
local tName, t1, t2
put the long name of fld "F" into tName
put tName & ",12,13" into t1
put "t1" && t1 &CR after msg
put item 1 of t1 into t2
set the vis of t2 to TRUE
put "t2 was OK" &CR after msg
set the vis of (item 1 of t1) to TRUE
put "using parens OK" &CR after msg
set the vis of item 1 of t1 to TRUE -- this line fails !!
put "here" &CR after msg
end mouseup
that line fails, with the error message
