I have a variable named "theM" in which I am storing any number of comma-delimited items. If I use the message box for something like "answer theM", I get a dialog with the list of the items in the var. So far, so good.

I have other vars with similar names (theW, theH, etc.) that contain other comma-delimited lists. I also have another variable (currentLetter) whose content changes (in this case: from "M" to "W" to "H" and back again in no consistent order). I have to check the content of currentLetter before knowing which of these lists I must manipulate. What I'd like to do is something like:

on mouseUp
if currentLetter = "W" then put "theW" into theList
(etc)
answer theList
end mouseUp

Now, if I do this, the answer dialog shows "theW" instead of the contents of the var named theW. Obviously, I'm not referring to the variable in the appropriate manner.

Any ideas?


Don't use quotes !!
it's a variable and not a litteral
put theW and not put "theW"

Hope this helps
