In my example, lineOffset would return "3" for "is". But "5" is what I'm after.

Here is one simple way, assuming you have control over the word list:
-- one-time prep - optimize list for searching
local sMyWordList
put url ("file:" & tPathToMyWords) into sMyWordList
put tab before sMyWordList
replace CR with (tab & CR & tab) in sMyWordList
replace slash wit
The 'lineOffset' function will be your friend here...

Have you tried turning the statusbar on and off in Mobgui? That has worked for
