Forcing a variable to evaluate as an object reference

      	  Mark Schonewille suggested:

on yeschangeit
    global glanguage
    put "changing it now"
    repeat for each line i in field "langfields"
      -- put "field " & i into twhere
      get the Language[glanguage] of fld i
      put it into field i
    end repeat
end yeschangeit


Looking at variables, it fails on

get the Language[glanguage] of fld i

but reports:

executing at 7:14:33 PM
Type	Chunk: no such object
Object	Assessment Language
Line	put it into field (i)
Hint	"Inst1" of card "Ranking" of this Stack


My first version though,

     put "field " & i into twhere
     get the Language[glanguage] of twhere

  definitely retrieves the text required, so what's that all about then?

Must go to pick a child up from Brownies or Cubs or something.  Damn! 
just when I'm getting to grips with a problem.
