value function fails for multi-line input

Dick,

"a" is a string not the variable a
either of the following lines will work:

 put value (a) & cr & (b)
 put value (a) & cr & value (b) into c; put value(c)

But, really, you can just say:

put a & cr & b into c
put c

Each of the following causes the 2.6 engine on Mac OS X 10.4.1 to report
"error executing expression:"

    put value( "a" & cr & "b")

    put "a" & cr & "b" into c; put value(c)

    set the lineDelimiter to "|"; put value("a|b")

In contrast, the following succeeds:

    set the lineDelimiter to "_"; put value("a_b")
