I'm fooling with the "returnsIn" script from Dan Winkler's "cooking with 
Hypertalk 2.0".  It is not working for me.  Actually, the XFCN "wordWrap"
returns nothing from my scripts.  For example:

	...
	put wordWrap(fld xx,200,Geneva,10,plain) into fld yy
	...

where I have a long string of text in bg fld "xx"; I always get nothing in bg
fld "yy".  Oh yes, I tried quoting "fld xx" all different ways:
	"fld xx"
	"bg fld xx"
	fld xx
	bg fld xx
	fld "xx"
	bg fld "xx
and all failed to return anything.

anybody got experience with "wordWrap"???
