On-rev Rename quotes work. Vars don't!

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Richard,

The addition of the "to" keyword surprisingly made even
what was working stop working!  The bug needs to be
fixed or the dictionary updated or both.

Tim's suggestion of building the entire statement, and
then executing it as a "do" command worked great!
Thanks Tim for the great work around!!!

Does anyone else want to figure this puzzle out?

Thanks for your help guys!

Rick
