Had a call from a doctor who recently switched medical billers. Seems her new biller used 
software that did not display all of the fields in the caret-delimited text files

would have taken some on the list here far less time) to whip up a one-trick-pony 
application to pull the bills that contained data in those missing fields, format and 
display, and enable printing of the data.

Since I hadn't used LiveCode in a while, I initially made the mistake that I'm 
sure I've made before: confusing the data to be incremented with the counters 
that control the looping. Fortunately, the LC editor let me know immediately by 
indicating that the types on each side of the operand did not match (can't add 
a number to a variable holding a string!).

Anyway, it's another instance of LC being used to quickly provide a solution.

Luckily, here in Bulgaria, as well as in Britain, we never have to face medical bills as we have socialised medicine; very civilised.
