Well, I'm assuming it's thinking that you want to evaluate the expression
"tField" using some other object (the second optional parameter to the
value() function). Not sure why it thinks that.

As to why it doesn't work, my guess would be that "value(tField)" doesn't
actually put the text into a variable container, so attempting to delete
line 2 of a non-existent container returns an error.

I checked this with the original:

  put the number of lines of value(tFIeld)

If I change that to:

   put the number of lines of value(tField) into tNum
   put tNum & "/" & it

I get:

   3/it

in the message box. So executing value(tField) doesn't affect "it" it seems.

BTW: Similarly you can't compile a script with:

  delete line 2 of (the text of tField)

without an error...
