Subject: Referencing a control name

Hi all,

I have this data in a field "MyField":

	button "Home",37,26,2,699

I want to reference that data like this:

	set the width of <item 1 of line 1 of field "MyField"> to item 2 of
line 1 of field "MyField"

How do I script the stuff inside the <> ? Sometimes that item will be a
field, graphic, etc.

Having a brain freeze.
