How to tell a line from a paragraph?

Geoff....

Way cool! I hadn't even looked at formattedText from that viewpoint.  
So the original poster's problem could be solved something like:

on mouseUp
   put the formattedText of field "foo" into field "holder"
   find "aid" in field "holder"
   put the foundLIne
end mouseUp
