Put "two" after word 1 of "word" result: "wordtwo"
put "two" after word 2 of "word" result: "wordtwo" 'after word' basically counts white space. eg, "word,word,word" is counted as one word". "word word" with several spaces counts as two words. "word " still counts as one word. There is no word two here so it will always append after the same as if it was 'after word 53'! But when you use put x *after* word y of z *into* z, with z being "word", x being "two" and y being 2, you are using after out of syntax because you wouldn't use **after** and **into** in the same 'put' line Sean Cole *Pi Digital Productions Ltd* 'Don't try to think outside the box.
