Running and stepping thru a repeat loop not the same

[Jim Hurley]

This  is weird beyond measure. When I step 5 times through the repeat 
loop below I get the expected results--see below.

When I allow the loop to "run" the first few lines are the second set 
of results below. They are completely different and incomprehensible.

The purpose is to add a new database field which is a combination of 
the street name, street number, and last name of the voter.

set the itemdel to tab
repeat for each line tLine in tOld
     put tab & item 5 of tLine & item 4 of tLine & item 2 of tLine  after tLine
     put tLine & cr after oldResults
end repeat


First few lines of the variable oldResults obtained by stepping 
through the loop. Exactly what I expected.

(Voter ID	LAST	FIRST	ST.NO.	STREET	PARTY	DATE	ComboField)

30871	KOVACS	JUDITH	237	ADAMS	NP	02/19/2002	ADAMS237KOVACS
47200	SHARP	KATHERINE	237	ADAMS	DEM	09/11/1995 
	ADAMS237SHARP
107995	NUCKELS	ANDREA	239	ADAMS	REP	08/07/2003	ADAMS239NUCKELS
48272	RUSSELL	ANNA	239	ADAMS	NP	09/01/2000	ADAMS239RUSSELL
778	BRITTEN	CONSTANCE	239	ADAMS	GRN	08/18/1999 
	ADAMS239BRITTEN

(The results above would all line up nicely with the proper setting 
of the tabs.)

First few lines of the variable oldResults obtained by running the 
loop. Totally bizarre results.
