I think the return (or equally the comma when dealing with items) doesn't "belong" to the line that it terminates (as I tend to think of it) - or indeed to the line that follows it (as perhaps you do); it is, indeed just a delimiter.
My mental model is different. I do think of the delimiter as "belonging" to the item it delimits. A return character belongs to the line it follows. A comma belongs to the item it follows. There is no requirement that a final delimiter be present, but if it is, it doesn't change the count.
When you think of it that way, it all falls into place. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [email protected] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
