Weird! Interestingly, if you manually step through your script in
debug mode (or run in trace mode) it works fine. It only exhibits this
strange behavior if you let it rip at full speed. (???)

Also, try this: put a breakpoint at the line "put "W" after inName1".
Run the script and click "step into" after you hit the breakpoint and
watch the value of inName1 change in the variable watcher. Very
strange!
