Another approach: If you're worried about the number of compiles, you
could build your block of code in the repeat loop and then run it with a
single "do" afterward. (or to work around the 10-line limit for do
statements, build 10 lines at a time and run them, then build 10 more...)

Why would you want to? Why not just use the array variables “as is”? What you
are doing seems to me to be something like “put a into b” and then not
modifying a or b.
In your example, do something like:
put (theList[theVar] contains “cat page”) into isTrue

Is there a "decent" way to load variables from an array without "do" or a
long list of commands?
If theList[pageName] is "cat page" and so forth, I can
repeat for each word theVar in "pageName pageHeight pageWidth"
do "put " & theList[theVar] & " into " & theVar
end repeat
but this will cause a slew of compiles.
I could also rattle off the list, but this is more maintainable.
Is there a better way to do this?
