Why doesn't this work?

[Mark Schonewille]

Bill,

It doesn't work because LiveCode first parses "url [the url]" and then 
concatenates the subsequent strings. Try using parentheses:

    put "805" into vAC
    put URL 
("http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx/GetInfoByAreaCode?USAreaCode=" & 
vAC) && "HTTP/1.1"

Best regards,
