   Or you could do that in one command (mind the line-wrap!):

  set the textStyle of word 1 of line (the number of lines of field 
"chatField") of field "chatField" to bold

   The two-line version is clearly preferable if you *also* do *other* things 
with the last line of the field; otherwise, which way to go is a matter of 
taste.
