returnInField problem

The relevant part of the script in Stack A is

     put myVariable into fld x
     select after fld x
     type numToChar(13)

This works if executed from the message box. Nevertheless, since nothing 
happened I've also tried to select manually after the text in fld x, just 
in order to be sure, but the result is the same -the text in fld y will 
not be found.

Still baffled,
Fritz
