You have the following in field X:

9 words in Transcript, 14 in real life
This means, among others, that
put "you" is among the words of fld X yields ... false
Sorry to insist; I know that word in Transcript designates a
space-delimited or quoted string as part of a chunk expression, but this
goes against syntaxis and causes many inconvenients
This is well known, but is not Rev's decision. The definition of a
"word" as implemented in Rev's HyperTalk dialect, Transcript, was
defined by Apple many years ago.
I haven't heard Apple's rationale on that, and it would be interesting
to know what they were thinking.
But in the here and now this convention was established more than 15
years ago by a company far bigger than RunRev, and at this late stage it
would cause widespread serious compatibiliy issues to change it.
If you feel strongly about this you can request a rationale and provide
additional feedback to Apple at:
