Bonsoir Richard,

I'm sure we are on the same page :-)

In a previous post, you asked me what I thought about Win ribbons and I did not reply :-( Probably should we discuss about this off list but, here are my first feelings: Actually, ribbons seem to be a kind of 'visual' contextual menus eg buttons dedicated to appropriate tasks in a given context. If it sounds good from a technocratic point of view, I'm afraid that users who need to 'recognize' an interface, are finally confused when all change because you have bolded a word :-) So, at first sight, a good idea but, from a cognitive psychology point of view :-) I'm not sure it's so good. In addition, I don't like software that claim every minute 'I'm clever' but I prefer software that make the user claim 'Finally I'm really good' :-)
From a cognitive psychology point of view :-)
Sure you understand...

As I said in a previous post, it seems that you *must* require or set a property.
In your example you don't get or set a property.

Correct:  in the first example from my earlier post, that's true.

But in the post you quoted we seem to be on the same page:

It seems the "get" and "set" commands for properties are the unambiguous ones, and attempting to use chunk expressions with other commands (such as "delete") cause them to operate on the string which is the object reference, rather than the contents of the referenced object.

So you could write instead:

  get the text of tField
  delete line 2 of it
  set the text of tField to it
