I didn't realized that I was really *putting*
values to inItem because I never used
the command set. Very clever !!!
I tried this in the Message window..
-- Welcome to Director --
put gList
-- ["Earth", "Jupiter", "Mars", "Venus", "Saturn"]
set inItem = "Jupiter"
put inItem = gList[2]
-- 1
put inItem = gList[3]
-- 0
Thanks again for all the help.
cheers,
John Erazo
