set rect of fld f1 of cd c1 of wd w1 to rect of fld f2 of cd c2 of wd w2

[Lynch, Jonathan]

I want more ways of addressing an object. I could really use an altname
property.

Put 8 into field altname "myField"

This way I can address a field by either its name or its altname. I have
a definite use for that.

Don't like that. Looks like APL to me. A major point of Transcript is 
to be easily HUMAN readable. Consider a rotten apple thrown.
