Linked text question

[Mark Swindell]

Thank you, Frank (and others),

What is wrong with this expression?

     repeat for each line x in field "WordList"
       if the mouseText is among the items of line x of field "WordList" 
then
         answer "HEY"
       end if
     end repeat

Rev doesn't like line 2, but I'm not able to understand why... if I 
replace "x" with "1" the answer command executes.  What is the proper 
repeat syntax to get this to work?

Thanks,
Mark
