It appears that Run Rev will assign tList to the custom property
myGroceryList3. But how does it know that the name of the custom
property is myGroceryList3 and not tName? Does it check to see whether
tName has a value in the script?
You've implicitely declared it by using it as a variable in the line
before. If a token is in the local variable table it'll be used as such.

Richard,
Thanks. It is hard to image a more fundamental principle.
I see now that I have been using this fact all along without
realizing it. For example in such cases as:
put "myFIeld" & i into tFieldName
put field tFieldName into myVariable
Ah, the dangers of learning only as much about a language as
necessary to complete the task at hand.
Jim
