Hi Ken
I think I see whats happening. I'm not altering the original data in
theImportedData variable rarther the copy of the data thats in the
loop variable. So unless I store this -- I lose it.
And in the second example I am altering the original.
That's great. This was my preferred solution because I was aware of
the problem that Mark hilighted regarding deleting items and using
'down to' in a loop,
Thanks to for your help.

That's because in the first version, you're not actually changing
theImportedData (which you can't really, without getting odd results). You
need to do this:
on removeFields1
put "" into tNewData
repeat for each line theRecord in theImportedData
delete the last item of theRecord
delete word 2 of item 10 of theRecord
delete item 11 of theRecord
put theRecord & cr after tNewData
end repeat
delete char -1 of tNewData
put tNewData into fld "Newdata"
end removeFields1
