Ah - thanks. I haven't even seen a comma-only use of points since my
old SuperCard days, so I didn't know LC supported that format.
But since the docs says that form is supported, and it used to work in
earlier versions, clearly it's a bug.
I've submitted the report for you:

LC need to change the documentation.
Tip: When setting the points property, you can separate the individual
points with a comma instead of a return. The points property is always reported
with the points on separate lines, however.
Makes life rather challenging & irritating.
Thanks for your help.
All the best

Looks like they fixed a bug in v7:
The correct format for the points property is that each point is a
comma-separated pair, with each pair separated by CR.
Apparently older versions allowed multiple points on a single comma-delimited
line.
If you change this:
set the points of grc id tID to x,y,x1,y1
..to this:
set the points of grc id tID to x,y &cr& x1,y1
..it works fine.
