Thank you.
When I looked up 'number" for a property of an object in the Dictionary
the only entry I found for number was "the number of <objects> and all
its variants - i.e counts. I must have just missed number as a property
of a single object.

Hi Paul.
Your field numbers will not be the same as layer numbers if anything else is in
a layer between or before them.
The better indicator would be
If word 7 of X = the number of fld “Address” then
That will do what you are thinking I believe.

Here is a basic question I am not sure of (after decades of LC coding) and
can't pin down in teh Dictionary
If you execute "put the selectedChunk into X" then (assume a valid selection) X contains an expression of
the form "char <start> to <end> of field <fieldNumber>"
If I want to check that the selection is in one of a number of fields on my stack, say
called "Address", is the following conditional correct?
if word 7 of X = the layer of fld "Address" then -- the selection is in the
address field
In other words, is the <fieldNumber> returned by selectedChunk the same as the
layer property of objects OR is it an index to the number of fields on that card (two
different things if you have objects other than fields on the card)
Any one know for sure?
