It sounds like you will want to use a repeat structure
like Eric or I mentioned and then create new variables
using the name of the variable and using the & statement
with the name to create the variable.
put "Hello" & 2 into the new name. But I am not really
sure the proper way to write it so it becomes the name
of a variable.
Someone on the list might have a way to accomplish what
you want that uses an array or something else you haven't
tried.

Hi again,
I need the repeat loop to effectively instantiate a new variable
each time
it loops with a name I can reference through the same script.
Or
I need the script to create a variable for each line in the field
which I
can reference from the same script.
Does this make any sense?

Subject: Re: Repeat variable name changing
I may not totally understand what you are trying to
do but it sounds like you are looking for a repeat
structure that will change fTime to 1,2,3 etc.
repeat with fTime = 1 to number of lines in fld whatever
put item 5 of line fTime into whereyouwant
end repeat
A repeat structure similar to the above would repeat
for 10 time if the field had 10 lines and then it would
automatically add 1 to fTime on each repeat & quit
after it executed the 10th time.
If it does not work properly I may have written it a
little wrong because I am use to hypercard but just
ask if it doesn't.

Thanks for the replies so far – wow!
Ok it looks like I need to be a little more specific.
I’m making a meeting scheduler. The idea is to have a field into
which I can
paste return separated list of names. I have a field with a start
time and a
field with a meeting length “Add”. At the moment I’m doing it the
long way
round:
on mouseUp
put fld "StartTime" into tTime1
convert tTime1 to dateItems
add fld "Add" to item 5 of tTime1
put tTime1 into tTime2
add fld "Add" to item 5 of tTime2
put tTime2 into tTime3
add fld "Add" to item 5 of tTime3
convert tTime1 to time
put tTime & ":" & Tab before line 1 of fld "myField"
etc
