In the previous posts we are specifying a specific start point and end point so use the singular, but in this case you are really interested in multiple chars/words/etc so the plural does seem to make sense to me. So LC does provide the plural variant when it is needed to keep the syntax English like. find chars "dog cow" in fld "Claris History" if "HyperCard" is among the words of myThesis then beep sort lines of myListofNames by word -1 of each --sorts names by surname Note: although the Dictionary has no entry for 'tokens', it's an oversight as it works just like the others.
