Hi Xavier,

I'm having trouble visualizing this without seeing, for example, the 
content of field "aboutlanguages" and the variable helpText.  As I 
read the second example, you are placing the same text string 
(helpText) in each element of a cps array keyed by a line of text 
from field "aboutlanguages"; so if field "aboutlanguages" contained:

	Français
	Deutsche
	español

then after the repeat you have:

	aboutLanguages[Français] = helpText
	aboutLanguages[Deutsche] = helpText
	aboutLanguages[español] = helpText

and in the next statement you set the stack's aboutlanguages property 
to helpText

Is that what you intended?
