Neither with "floozy programming languages, nor with plain, simple
floozies. ;-)
Let's just say I was a bit sleepy after 3 weeks holiday away from
LiveCode: just
about as cheap as excuses go, but cannot right now think of a better one.

Have you had a dalliance with a floozy programming language that allows you to
do such things?

I take that back. You are trying to set the textColor of a string literal which
of course you cannot do. Line n of old "fPROC" has to resolve to something
before the textColor is set. But of course you can only do that to the field or
a chunk of text in the field.

you are forcing the statement in parenthesis to resolve, so it becomes set the
tectColor of n to "red" which of course is nonsense.

For the same reason you can do
put 17 into B
but cannot do
put 17 into (B)
(My over-simplified way of thinking of it is ..
B is a container - you can put values into it or take them out.
(B) is just a value - you can only take it out.
Similarly,
line XOUNT of fld "f"
And what would you expect the value of the parenthetical expression to be?

O, Aye, here we go: replying to his own post:
setthetextColorofline XOUNT offld "fPROC" to"red"
Why, Oh Why, Pray tell, should those *P-A-R-E-N-T-H-E-S-E-S* stop things?
