Jim and Roger,

Thanks for your pointers! I found an error further on in the script 
(actually two errors). One was an unassociated repeat and the other 
appeared to be an abbreviated "fld" instead of field or maybe it was the 
'go to card "Index"' which when changed to 'go to card "2"' worked. 
Seems Rev doesn't like abbreviations nor does it point well to the 
actual bug. The script works great now! Here is the complete and 
working  script:

on mouseUp
  put empty into field "IndexField"
  lock screen
  -- visit each card
  repeat with x = 3 to the number of cards
    go to card x
    if field "Card Name" <> empty then
      put (field "Card Name") & ";" && the ID of this card \
          & return after index1
    end if
  end repeat
  go to card 2 -- go to card 2 "Index Card"
  sort index1   -- sort data within variable
  put index1 into field "IndexField" -- put data into Index Field
  put number of chars in field "IndexField" into field "Characters"
  put number of lines in field "indexfield" into field "Line Count"
 unlock screen
end mouseUp
