Offset with 'charstoskip' doesn't work? [was RunRev vs RealBasic (Richard Gaskin)]

I thought I would see if I could solve the RB/Rev/SC challenge and tried this as a first attempt:

on mouseUp
  put fld 1 into sFld
  put fld 2 into tFld
  put "" into fld 3
  -- put 0 into it --*1
  put zero into t --*2
  repeat with i= 1 to the number of lines in tFld
    repeat
      -- get offset(line i of tFld,sfld,it) --*1
      get offset(line i of tFld,sfld,t) --*2
      put it into t --*2
      if it is zero then exit repeat
      put line i of tFld&&i&&it&return after fld 3
    end repeat
  end repeat
end mouseUp

but what happens is along the way it finds a search string in question at char 246674 and then finds it again at 250675 and then finds it again at 246674 then at 250675 then at 246674 then at 250675 ...

Is offset not working or am I not?
