I'm sure it's  not the best way, but here's one way to make it happen:
What I'd like to know from anyone is what the syntax would be  for the 
following using the "repeat for" structure rather than "repeat with x = 
1 to the number of..." structure.

on rawkeyup
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of words of field "blueWhile"
     if word x of field "blueWhile" is "while" then
       set the textcolor of word x of field "blueWhile" to blue
       set the textcolor of the last word of field "blueWhile" to black 
--resets black so ensuing words don't remain blue
     end if
   end repeat
end rawkeyup
