I'm sure it's not the best way, but here's one way to make it happen:
What I'd like to know from anyone is what the syntax would be for the
following using the "repeat for" structure rather than "repeat with x =
1 to the number of..." structure.
on rawkeyup
repeat with x = 1 to the number of words of field "blueWhile"
if word x of field "blueWhile" is "while" then
set the textcolor of word x of field "blueWhile" to blue
set the textcolor of the last word of field "blueWhile" to black
--resets black so ensuing words don't remain blue
end if
end repeat
end rawkeyup
