If you try "PUTIN" you are a real beginner, or an uncritical 
Greater-Russian Imperialist . . . LOL

As soon as one starts using

set the htmlText of fld 2 to the htmlText of fld 1

or

set the unicodeText of fld 2 to the unicodeText of fld 1 && numToChar(1852)

one is no longer completely green.

Mind you; even the "conceptual leap" from using 'field' to 'fld'
shows that one has been mucking around for a while :)
