You are correct, Mark, the DO command is necessary here.

I got focused on the early errors in the script that mean the string  
would not have a chance of working.

-1-  line 1 probably gives a value for X that is too high
> put number of grps of grp Workarea into X

-2- the oList string is being build without quotes
> put "grp" &&  ("GP" & i) && "and " after oList

Both of which would lead to errors, even using the DO command.

A long time ago I built a group manipulation set of scripts that did  
not require the DO command, but I cannot find it now.
Obviously I did not use
      select stringOfObjectNames

Glad you echoed back about this.
I guess 5 AM on Monday is not the best time to answer complex questions.
