if listbehavior is toggled off, the clicktext returns the word clicked for
me, sans punctuation.  Of course, this means there is no hilite, so you'd
have to "workaround" that problem and use the clickchunk to hilite it if
needed.

Indeed it does :)

Thank you so much for pointing that out.

Humpf . . .

There I with a locked scrolling list field and I want to click on the word
"glaikit" in line
3, and if I use 'clickText' I get the whole sentence "He's a muckle
glaikit gowk",
and if I use 'clickChunk' I get this 'char 24 to 49 of field 1' which is
no good either.

Now, if Livecode had 'clickWord' I would be able to get "glaikit" 'just
like that'.

I am well aware of this:

http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/livecode/tips/mous003.htm

which does provide some sort of a work-around, but does have this rider:

" if there is any trailing punctuation, this is returned as well"

mind you, there are some of us who are getting a peerie bit tired of
endless work-arounds.
