With a sequence like,

put "gizmo" into theFld
I end up with "gizmo" in the variable theFld, rather than the field it
references.
Am I doing something wrong, or does this just not work for fields (7.0-RC2)
I believe that's consistent with all versions.
You could rewrite the code so that the variable portion contains only
the short name, e.g.:
put "gizmo" into field theFld
...but that's not much fun. It may be simpler to use the
property-setting form, in which case the engine will do its best to try
to evaluate the value of the variable as an object reference, e.g.:
set the text of theFld to "gizmo"
