With 100,000 iterations of each "send" command, I tested these two 
variations:

get the text of fld "testFld"
get the text of field "testFld"

The results were a little surprising. The abbreviation was faster. On my 
machine, 588ms abbreviated, and 654ms without abbreviation. Interesting. 
That makes me happy, I use abbreviations all the time.
