The parenthesis placements are key in such references as they change the
order of command processing.
For example:
1. Create a button "Test1" of width 82 (say)
2. Create a field "Field1" of width 168 (say) containing the text: /button
"Test1"/
3. Type into message box
put the width of field "Field1"
Answer: 168
4. Type into message box
put the width of (field "Field1")
Answer: 82
This is working as expected. When you "get" a field, it is the same as
getting the text of the field. In this case, the text is a reference to
a button and because of the parentheses, the engine resolves that as a
reference to the button control.
It is equivalent to:
get the text of fld "Field1" --> "button "test1"
put the width of it --> 82
