Richard,
Now that's one swell foop! Exactly what I was hoping for. Many thanks!

Thanks for the help. I learned something from both comments. I'm still unable to eliminate the "do", however. No doubt a syntax deficiency on my part. I think the difficulty that I'm having boils down to the following Using Richard's suggestion and switching to the long ID of the field in the main s...

I have a main stack with a field on each card and I would like to selectively modify text style, size, or color of selected text chunks in these fields. I would like to do this using a substack, a text tool palette. As a first step towards constructing this, I have a field message handler in the mai...

Thanks, Simon!

Coding in other languages, I make frequent use of find and replace. Doesn't everyone? From the Code Editor menu, I select Edit>Find and Replace ...(or Ctrl+Shift+F). In the resulting dialog window, the "Find Next"," Replace", and "Replace all" buttons are all grayed-out. Only the "Find All" button i...
