Ah. Smart compiler. For some reason I was assuming that in this form

repeat for each line theLine in fld "winners"

that the field would be accessed at each loop iteration. Which would be 
a terrible hit. But yes, since the speed is the same with both forms, 
it must be doing what Björnke says- making a temporary var with the 
contents of the field.

Thanks Dar and Björnke.
