Klaus Major has already answered your actual query -

My comment is that this just happened to me yesterday, in a very slightly 
different form. I had the name of an image in a variable, and this 
statement crashed RunRev:

set the icon of btn "theGIF" of cd "Demo" to image ATgCurrentGIF of cd 
"GIFWell"

As with John's problem, it was the token 'image' that caused the crash.

I found it totally repeatable - I think it's a bug in the engine. IMO, 
**no** syntactically incorrect statement should crash RunRev, but this is 
certainly what happens on my configuration (PC with Windows XP Home 
Edition, French). This is all the more disturbing since logically the use 
of the token 'image' appears to be correct - it appears to be an 
eccentricity of the language that one **doesn't** have to put 'image' at 
this point.

If people agree it's a bug, I guess I will bugzilla it, although I have not 
used bugzilla up to now because of the negative PR it's had on the list 
(will it work on my totally standard copy of MSIE on this PC?)
