Welcome, Dave!
Your code looks OK, although I'd parenthesize for clarity:
if (field "in_field" = "") and (the number of lines of field "waiting_reqs"
> 0) then
put line 1 of field "waiting_reqs" into field "in_field"
delete line 1 of field "waiting_reqs"
send mouseUp to button "sendReq"
end if
You might also want to use:
the text of field "in_field"
instead of just:
field "in_field"
Both should be the same, but you never know. Also, can you put in an
"answer" command and after the "if" statement to check the contents of the
fields? As in:
answer "Field 'in_field' contains: " & (field "in_field") & cr & \
"field 'waiting_reqs' contains: " & (the number of lines of field
"waiting reqs")
if (field "in_field" = "") and (the number of lines of field "waiting_reqs"
> 0) then
put line 1 of field "waiting_reqs" into field "in_field"
delete line 1 of field "waiting_reqs"
send mouseUp to button "sendReq"
end if
Just a few thoughts...
