tableField . . . refering to columns

[Roger Eller]

A regular table field is TAB delimited.  Also, refer to your "column" as
"item".

Try this:

on mouseUp
   set the itemDelimiter to "^"
   put line 1 of fld "fPRE" into PREE1
   set the itemDeliniter to TAB
   put item 1 of PREE1 into item 1 of line 1 of fld "fTF"
end mouseUp
