Interesting. I'm not sure why you didn't get an error instead, but those 
commands are fairly new, and wired into the engine a little differently. 
Rule of thumb in LiveCode though is to always quote literals. Some 
people don't, but while the engine can be somewhat forgiving about that, 
eventually it will bite you. It also speeds up your code, because the 
engine doesn't have to figure out if the term is a literal or a variable.

Not at all, that's why we're here. And I, at least, learned something. 
Go ahead and make some more mistakes. :)
