Hi Glen,
well, the chunk "word n" is giving you the nth word of the string; so, it's right but using item will work as you ask for !
set the itemdelimiter to tab
put item 3 of line 1 of fld "data"
-- 23 tab 35 tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 -- gives ==> 76
put item 3 of line 1 of fld "data" -- 23 tab tab tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 -- gives ==> empty
put item 5 of line 1 of fld "data" -- 23 tab tab tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 -- gives ==> 55

| 23 tab tab tab 76 tab 55 tab 99
| -- put word 3 of line 1 of fld "data"
