Oddly enough THIS works:

put fld "INN" into $INN
delete char 1 of $INN
put $INN into fld "OWT"

BUT, BUT, BIG UNCOMFORTABLE BUT, this:


put fld "INN" into $INN
  put fld "URTEXT" into $URTEXT
    repeat until $URTEXT is empty
    if $INN contains the first char of $URTEXT then
       put the first char of $URTEXT after $OUTTEXT
       delete the first char of $URTEXT
    else
       delete the first char of $URTEXT
    end if
end repeat
put $OUTTEXT into fld "fOUTTEXT"

Maybe this is because one cannot use CONTAINS with a string variable, Dunno.
