What about:

Replace char 1 of mystring with ""

delete char 1 of $string works; that is not the problem.

as in something like this...
    put char 2 to (the number of chars of fld 1) of fld 1 into fld 2
Oddly enough THIS works:

put fld "INN" into $INN
delete char 1 of $INN
put $INN into fld "OWT"

BUT, BUT, BIG UNCOMFORTABLE BUT, this:


put fld "INN" into $INN
put fld "URTEXT" into $URTEXT
   repeat until $URTEXT is empty
   if $INN contains the first char of $URTEXT then
      put the first char of $URTEXT after $OUTTEXT
      delete the first char of $URTEXT
   else
      delete the first char of $URTEXT
   end if
end repeat
put $OUTTEXT into fld "fOUTTEXT"

Maybe this is because one cannot use CONTAINS with a string variable, Dunno.
