I'm not sure what you are seeing. I just tried an experiment. I put this 
into a field:

dict,components/help/revdictionary.rev
doc,components/help/revdocumentation.rev
enc,components/help/revencyclopedia.rev

Then from the message box:

   set the stackfiles of this stack to fld 1

Then again from the message box:

  answer the stackfiles of this stack

And what I got back was a return-delimited list exactly as it was in the 
field. I could just as easily have constructed the original list in a 
variable without using a field.
