Thanks guys.
The substr of substr of etc... was the ticket.
Here is what I have and it works like a charm.
" xlate ",
" ( ",
" substr 2-* of ",
" substr fs - f 2 of ",
" substr w 2 of ",
" fs $ f1 ",
" substr 2-* of ",
" substr fs - f 3 of ",
" substr w 2 of ",
" fs $ f1 ",
" substr 2-* of ",
" substr fs - f 4 of ",
" substr w 2 of ",
" fs $ f1 ",
" substr 2-* of ",
" substr fs - f 5 of ",
" substr w 2 of ",
" fs $ f1 ",
" substr 2-* of ",
" substr fs - f 6 of ",
" substr w 2 of ",
" fs $ f1 ",
" substr 2-* of ",
" substr fs - f 7 of ",
" substr w 2 of ",
" fs $ f1 ",
" ) ",
" lower ",
