Re : Initializing variables
Maybe this can help: we use next handler to initailize variables : PutInto youValue,"destinationKinds","destinationNames" with destinationKinds : comma separated list of destination kinds "g" : global, "c" : card field, "b" or "f" background field, "c" : card field empty items : repeat previous one destinationNames : comma separated list of of short names of the destinations example : PutInto empty,"g,c,,b","gName1,cfield1,cfield2,bfield1" equals to put empty into gName1 -- gName1 = globalName put empty into card field "cfield1" put empty into card field "cfield2" put empty into bg field "bfield1" PutInto 5,"b","bfield1,bfield2,bfield3,bfield4,bfield5,bfield6" equals to put 5 into field "bfield1" put 5 into field "bfield2" put 5 into field "bfield3" put 5 into field "bfield4" put 5 into field "bfield5" put 5 into field "bfield6" here's the handler (in DEV, so AS IS...) : (store it in your stack script, or in the stack script of a 'stackinuse') ** on PutInto pValue, pKinds, pNames put the HCAddressing of this stack into lHCAddr set the HCAddressing of this stack to false try put 0 into xx repeat for each item lName in pNames add 1 to xx put char 1 of item xx of pKinds into lKind if lKind = "" then put lPrevKind into lKind if lKind = "g" then do "global "&(lName)&CR&"put pValue into "&lName else if lKind = "c" or lKind = "b" or lKind = "f" then put pValue into fld lName put lKind into lPrevKind end repeat catch lMess answer "PutInto : Cannot handle "&lName&" !" exit to top finally set the HCAddressing of this stack to lHCAddr end try end PutInto *** Hope this helps...

Re: Initializing variables
When you have a long list of variables, it might be easier to try an array instead. For example: on mouseUp global myVar repeat with i = 1 to 1000 put 0 into myVar[i] end repeat end mouseUp So, instead of calling your variables x,y,z etc...you can simply call them myVar[1],myVar[2], etc good luck, mark in Japan Jim wrote: I have a list of variables, say "x,y,z" > I would like to set each of these equal to zero.

Initializing variables
I have a list of variables, say "x,y,z" I would like to set each of these equal to zero. If I were to use the following: put "x,y,z" into tList repeat with i = 1 to 3 put 0 into item i of tList end repeat This would of course replace the list x,y,z by 0,0,0 and not achieve my objective. Instead I want x,y, and z to take on the values 0. I've tried quotes and value() without success. My actual list is very long and it would be awkward to put 0 into x put 0 into y put 0 into z Any thoughts on an efficient way of assigning values to variables within a list?
