Hello Jim,
I did it with following script:
on mouseUp
repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines of fld Wrds
set cursor to busy
put char 1 to 2 into Abr1
put char 3 to 4 into Abr2
put char 5 to 6 into Abr3
put char 7 to 8 into Abr4
put char 9 to 10 into Abr5
if fld eles contains Abr1 and fld eles contains Abr2 and fld
eles contains Abr3\
and fld eles contains Abr4 and fld eles contains Abr5 then
put " "&abr1&&abr2&&abr3&&abr4&&abr5 into word 2 of
line i of fld Wrds
end if
end repeat
end mouseUp
This comes up with a number of words that fit the elements list but
only one for a mode of travel; helicopter.
Thanks for the challenge!
Cheers, Roger

For my fellow puzzle addicts:
Here is this weeks NPR puzzle (Sunday Weekend edition)
Sunday Puzzle
By Will Shortz
Challenge for July 24:
A 10-letter word for a form of travel, that consists of five
consecutive symbols of chemical elements. What is it? If automobile
had been the answer, AU, would represent Gold, MO would represent
Molybdenum, and BI, would represent Bismuth. Unfortunately, the
remaining bigrams, TO and LE, are not chemical symbols.
I have put up a stack with two fields. The first contains all 10
letter words in my dictionary.
The second contains all two character elements from the periodic
table.
You task, should you choose to adopt it, is to write a Run Rev
handler to solve this weeks NPR puzzle defined above.
In the message box:
