Scott, in the case of a field,

  put the long id of fld 1 into tField
  put line 1 of the text of tField

seems to work.

Best,

Mark

I'm having trouble remembering how to get Rev to see object references in variables, as opposed to the variable data. For example, if I script:
  put the long id of field 1 into tField
  put the number of lines of tField
I'll get '1' in the message box regardless of how may lines field 1
contains. I could have sworn there was a way to get this work without using
"do" or using "the text of tField".  Is my memory faulty?

The only one I can think of offhand is "value", which executes at about the same speed as "do":

   put the long id of field 1 into tField
   put the number of lines of value(tField)
