If the Rev IDE is not reporting corruption, it may not be corrupted at 
all. Your original report said:

    repeat with j=1 to 20
       put j --mssg box contains 1
       get Typ[min(i+1+j,DateLines)] --error on this line


              executing at 11:59:32 AM
     Type    Function: error in source expression
     Object    card id 1002
     Line    get Typ[min(i+1+j,DateLines)]
     Hint    card id 1002

     The error is complaining that j has not been defined yet!!!!


I don't see "j" mentioned specifically in the error report, just "source 
expression".  So if "j" is okay and "1" is one and not an undefined 
lower-case "L", what's in "i" and "DateLines"?

If those check out, what happens if you delete and retype that line?  It 
may be that there's an option-space or other illegal non-printing 
character accidently put in there....
