Help with other code

[graham samuel]

Kevin - one extra point. Although it may have worked in this particular 
case, it is generally not a good idea to give a variable a name which 
is a reserved word in Transcript. 'number' is certainly reserved, as in

  put the number of lines of myField into myTemp

or whatever. It you do this, you will eventually get unexpected results 
(when Revolution can't work out from the context whether you mean to 
use a reserved word or not).  Many people use a consistent naming style 
by introducing a one or two-letter prefix before every variable name. I 
believe Richard G has some clearer advice on this on his site.
