Thanks, James and Karina--problem solved. Both of your solutions worked 
equally well for formatting, but I went with James' solution because the 
line numbers are closely tied to the on-screen clues, and the extra RETURNs 
I was putting in was messing that up.

Just one adjustment in the syntax, James. Since topSpacing and 
bottomSpacing are chunk expressions, it appears they can't be applied to 
the cast as a whole; you have to apply it by paragraph. So, I'm formatting 
with a loop:

   repeat with i = 1 to text.line.count
     member("clues").paragraph[i].bottomSpacing = 5
   end repeat

Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction. I wonder, is there 
anybody who knows *all* the Lingo keywords? (No answer required :-)

Cordially,
