The thing that emerges from my question is that to colour a word or
phrase programmatically
in a textField is a fiddly business and it would be nice (??????) if a
simpler way to do this were introduced.
This works very well:
on mouseUp
put 1 into VOCABLE
repeat until word VOCABLE in fld "TEKST" is "finalSolution666"
put VOCABLE into fld "KOUNT"
if word VOCABLE of fld "TEKST" is "the" then
set the textColor of word VOCABLE of fld "TEKST" to red
end if
add 1 to VOCABLE
end repeat
end mouseUp
but, because one cannot set the textColor of a word in a stringVariable
it is very slow with large texts because it has to work within the field.
