Working with grouped text

[Ken Ray]

Sure, Dan. Here's a field script you can use:

on linkClicked pText
  put the currChoices of me into tChoices
  switch (pText)
    case "a test"
      if 1 is not among the items of tChoices then
        put 1 into item (the number of items of tChoices)+1 of tChoices
      end if
      break
    case "a quiz"
      if 2 is not among the items of tChoices then
        put 2 into item (the number of items of tChoices)+1 of tChoices
      end if
      break
    case "a puzzle"
      if 3 is not among the items of tChoices then
        put 3 into item (the number of items of tChoices)+1 of tChoices
      end if
      break
  end switch
  set the currChoices of me to tChoices
end linkClicked

It's a bit long-winded, but you get the idea...
