7.0 can't parse group "someGroup" of (an id)

[Peter Haworth]

I think the problem is that the compiler is interpreting this as getting
the group of a line and lines don;t have groups of course.

Couple of things to try.

get line 1 of grMs
put the name of (group "RawRow" of it).....

or

put the name of (group "RawRow" of value(line 1 of grMs))....
