command "group" fails when objectList is a string

Hi.
Here's an example of what does work:
group group id 342201 and group id 342165 and group id 342129
And what doesn't:
put "group id 342201 and group id 342165 and group id 342129" into tString
group tString
But shouldn't it work?
Which leads me to a second question. My workaround is:
put "group group id 342201 and group id 342165 and group id 342129"
into tString"
do tString
The LC docs say "do" can take time. And it does. But, any reasonable
guesses as to how long is safe? For now, I've experimented with:
wait 0 milliseconds
wait 50 milliseconds
wait 500 milliseconds
Some too slow. Some work at times, and other times not.
But perhaps there's some unbeknownst to me LC command or property that
can help get around all this mess?
Thanks.
