I am currently recoding my Devawriter Pro from Livecode 4.5 to Livecode 8.1,
and it is proving rather more long-winded than I had envisaged.

For instance:

put numToCodePoint(107) into fld "TRANZ"

which worked perfectly OK in 4.5 does NOT work in 8.1

HOWEVER; if I rename fld "TRANZ" to "fTRANZ" this works:

put numToCodePoint(107) into fld "fTRANZ"

Am I to conclude that Livecode 8.1 is guilty of discriminating against 
LGBT fields?
