text into a tabstopped field

[Mark Smith]

set the itemDelimiter to tab
put "someInfo" into item 2 of line n of fld "someField"

On the other hand, if you're making many updates at once and the  
field contains a lot of data, it might be more efficient to put the  
field into a variable, update the variable and then put the variable  
back into the field.

Best,

Mark
